Wholemeal tortillas are a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional white-flour tortillas, made primarily from whole wheat flour, water, a small amount of oil, and salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, tortillas are a versatile staple often used for wraps, tacos, or quesadillas. Wholemeal tortillas retain the bran and germ of the wheat, making them a great source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion and promotes longer-lasting fullness. They are also a good source of complex carbohydrates, offering steady energy release. Additionally, they provide small amounts of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Compared to refined flour versions, wholemeal tortillas have a heart-healthier profile due to their higher nutrient density and lower glycemic load. However, some store-bought varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives, making it important to check ingredient labels. As part of a balanced diet, wholemeal tortillas can enhance meals with both flavor and nutritional benefits.
