FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Are whole-wheat tortillas healthier than white tortillas?
Yes, they generally contain more fiber, protein, and micronutrients because they use the entire grain.
How long do they last after opening?
They typically last 1 week in the pantry or 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator if sealed tightly.
Can I freeze whole-wheat tortillas?

Do they contain gluten?

Why do my tortillas crack when I fold them?

Corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, or large lettuce leaves for a low-carb wrap.
