Description
Bread is made from flour or meal mixed with other dry and liquid ingredients. The dough is then kneaded and shaped into loaves and baked. A tortilla is a type of thin flatbread that is made from finely ground flour or cornmeal.
Buy It
- Look for the words "whole wheat" or "whole grain" in the ingredient list on breads. "Enriched flour" is not the same as whole wheat, even though the front label may say "Whole Wheat" on it.
- Try whole wheat flour tortillas for something heartier and more filling.
- Choose corn tortillas if you want to keep your blood sugar under control.
Store It
- For a longer shelf life, breads and tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator.
Why It's Great
- Whole wheat and whole grain breads are full of fiber and vitamins that help you feel full.
