Tortillas are low in fat, especially if they are made with whole grains or other healthy ingredients. This can be beneficial for those looking to reduce overall fat intake. Tortillas made with whole grains are often high in fiber, which can help improve digestion and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Tortillas made with whole grains or other high-fiber ingredients can have a lower glycemic index, which means they are less likely to cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
One of the most notable impacts of the pandemic has been an increase in demand for tortillas. With more people cooking at home and eating fewer meals in restaurants, sales of tortillas and other Mexican food products have soared. Many consumers have turned to tortillas as a versatile and convenient ingredient for making a wide range of dishes, from tacos and burritos to quesadillas and wraps.
