About Egg wrap

Egg wraps are a versatile alternative to traditional bread-based wraps, typically made by cooking beaten eggs into a thin, pancake-like layer. Originating as part of low-carb and protein-rich diet trends, they are primarily utilized in Western cuisine but have global appeal due to their adaptability. Eggs used in wraps deliver a rich nutritional profile, being an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, D, and A, and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. They are naturally low in carbohydrates and contain healthy fats, making them a nutrient-dense choice for those seeking a balanced meal option. Pairing an egg wrap with vegetables, lean proteins, or healthy fats can enhance its overall nutritional value and contribute to dietary needs.
