About Garlic and herb wrap

Garlic and herb wraps are a type of flatbread, often used as an alternative to traditional bread for wraps or sandwiches. Common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, they incorporate garlic and a blend of dried herbs like parsley, oregano, and basil to enhance flavor. These wraps are typically made from flour, water, oil, and seasonings. Depending on the recipe, they may contain whole grains, making them a source of dietary fiber. Generally, they are low in sugar and can be an excellent source of carbohydrates for energy. Garlic in the wrap adds small amounts of allicin, a bioactive compound, while herbs contribute antioxidants that may support overall health. Some varieties may also include added nutrients, depending on the manufacturer or recipe, such as iron or folate from enriched flour.
