Low carb tortillas FAQ
Are low carb tortillas gluten-free?
Not all low carb tortillas are gluten-free. Gluten is a type of protein commonly found in wheat, which is often used in tortilla preparations. However, some brands do offer gluten-free versions, such as Mission’s Gluten-Free Tortillas, made from a base of tapioca and whole rice flour instead of wheat.
Are low carb tortillas keto-friendly?
Yes, low carb tortillas can be a good choice for a keto diet. The ketogenic diet focuses on high-fat, low-carb foods. Many low-carb tortillas contain around 4-6 grams of net carbs each, much lower than traditional tortillas which can contain 20 grams or more. Remember, for a standard ketogenic diet, it’s recommended to keep your daily intake of carbs below 50 grams.
What are some alternatives to low carb tortillas?
If you are seeking alternatives to low carb tortillas, consider vegetables like lettuce or collard greens which can be used as wrap substitutes. These options are naturally low in carbs with a large lettuce leaf containing 0.5 grams of net carbs. Another option is to make your own tortillas using almond or coconut flour which typically contains 6 grams of net carbs per 1/4 cup, providing an even lower carb alternative to store-bought alternatives.
