About Mayan tortilla
The Mayan Tortilla is a traditional staple of Mesoamerican cuisine, originating from the ancient Mayan civilization. Crafted primarily from masa harina, a finely ground corn flour treated with limewater, these tortillas are naturally gluten-free and rich in fiber, magnesium, and B vitamins. Corn has long been a dietary cornerstone for Mayan communities, offering essential nutrients and energy. While the Mayan Tortilla is inherently low in fat and sugar, its health profile depends on preparation methods and accompanying ingredients. When paired with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and salsas, it makes for a wholesome and balanced option. However, fried versions or tortillas served alongside high-fat toppings may elevate calories and reduce nutritional benefits. A simple and nourishing foundation, the Mayan Tortilla remains a symbol of cultural heritage and a versatile addition to modern diets focused on whole grains and nutrient density.
