About Naan wrap

Naan wraps are a versatile food originating from South Asia, particularly India and Pakistan. They consist of naan, a leavened flatbread traditionally baked in a tandoor oven, used as a wrap to hold various fillings like vegetables, meats, or plant-based proteins. Naan is made using ingredients such as refined wheat flour, yogurt, and yeast, giving it a soft, chewy texture. A single naan wrap (without filling) typically provides around 250-300 calories with approximately 50 grams of carbohydrates, 8-10 grams of protein, and 5-10 grams of fats, depending on the recipe. Although higher in calories compared to whole-grain options, naan provides energy and some essential nutrients due to its protein and carbohydrate content, making it a satisfying meal base.

Health Benefits

• Provides a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, vital for brain and body function.
• Contains some protein (8-10 grams per serving), which supports muscle repair and growth.
• If made with yogurt, it adds probiotics that can improve gut health and digestion.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, dairy

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets, non-vegan diets (if made with yogurt or milk)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (if made traditionally with yogurt)

Selection and Storage

Store naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Warm it on a stovetop or in the oven before use for better texture.

Common Questions About Naan wrap Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of a naan wrap?

A typical naan wrap (about 100 grams) contains approximately 270-300 calories, 8-10 grams of protein, 4-6 grams of fat, and 45-50 grams of carbohydrates. It is also a source of iron and B vitamins, but it is relatively low in dietary fiber.

Can you eat naan wraps on a keto or low-carb diet?

Naan wraps are not suitable for a strict keto or low-carb diet as they are high in carbohydrates, providing around 45-50 grams per serving. For those on these diets, a low-carb or almond flour-based naan alternative may be a better option.

Are there any health concerns with eating naan wraps?

Naan wraps can be calorie-dense and high in refined carbohydrates, which might contribute to blood sugar spikes if consumed in large amounts. Choosing whole wheat naan or pairing it with protein and fiber-rich fillings can help balance your meal.

What is the recommended serving size for a naan wrap?

A single naan wrap, typically weighing about 80-100 grams, is considered an appropriate serving size. If paired with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, one wrap can make a balanced meal for most adults.

How does a naan wrap compare to other types of flatbreads like tortillas or pita bread?

Naan wraps are generally richer in flavor and softer in texture compared to tortillas or pita bread, but they tend to contain more calories and carbohydrates due to the use of enriched flour, yogurt, or butter in the dough. Tortillas and pita bread may suit lower-calorie or lower-fat preferences better.
