About Low carb whole wheat wrap

Low carb whole wheat wraps are a versatile food originating from modern dietary adaptations of flatbreads found in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean and Mexican. These wraps are crafted using whole wheat flour, offering a reduced carbohydrate content compared to traditional wraps, and are often fortified with additional sources of dietary fiber or protein. They typically contain around 15-20 grams of carbohydrates per serving, making them ideal for individuals managing carbohydrate intake. They provide a substantial amount of dietary fiber, around 4-6 grams per wrap, aiding in digestion and contributing to a balanced diet. Often low in added sugars, they are tailored for health-conscious individuals seeking nutritious and filling alternatives to high-carb breads or tortillas. These wraps also offer essential vitamins like B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, which are inherent in whole grains.
