Cassava tortillas are a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat tortillas, made primarily from cassava flour, derived from the root of the cassava plant native to South America. These tortillas are popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines and are increasingly embraced by those following paleo, grain-free, or gluten-free diets. Cassava is naturally rich in carbohydrates, making the tortillas an energy-boosting option, but they lack significant protein and fiber. They are free of common allergens, such as nuts and gluten, making them ideal for individuals with dietary restrictions. Cassava tortillas are a versatile base for wraps, tacos, or flatbread dishes. However, due to their carbohydrate content, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Some varieties may include added preservatives or oils, so it’s wise to check labels for minimally processed options to ensure optimal nutritional benefit.
