GrainLabs recipe: Tritordeum pancakes

These Tritordeum pancakes bring a subtle Mediterranean character to a classic Dutch staple, made with Tritordeum, a grain of Spanish origin known for its mild sweetness and higher fiber content compared with many refined wheat products. Soft yet satisfying, they provide a carb-rich meal with moderate amounts of protein and fat, making them a versatile option for training days and everyday meals. Because of their fiber content, they are best enjoyed several hours before exercise, particularly before longer or lower-intensity sessions where sustained energy is beneficial. Closer to high-intensity training or competition, some athletes may prefer lower-fiber carbohydrate options for easier digestion. For recovery, pair them with fruits and a protein-rich topping or side, such as yogurt or skyr to better support muscle repair and adaptation.
