Tortilla, wheat, soft

Soft wheat tortillas are flatbreads made from wheat flour. The figures here refer to the soft form. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein, fat and fibre. Per 100g, they contain 54g of carbohydrate, 7.8g of protein, 3.6g of fibre and 1.6g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when tortillas are eaten with other foods that contain salt, such as cheese or processed meat.
