About Tortilla flour

Tortilla flour is a finely milled, versatile flour primarily used to make soft, pliable tortillas, a staple in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines. Typically made from wheat, tortilla flour often includes additives like baking powder or salt to enhance texture and flavor during preparation. Rich in carbohydrates and low in fat, it provides energy but is less nutrient-dense compared to whole grain flours. While it contains small amounts of protein and fiber, its refined nature means it lacks the vitamins and minerals found in whole wheat alternatives. Tortilla flour is loved for its ability to create tender, thin wraps for tacos, burritos, and other dishes, but moderation is key for those watching their blood sugar or calorie intake. For a more wholesome option, whole wheat tortilla flour is available, offering higher fiber content and improved nutritional benefits.
