What Ingredients Are in Commercially Available Tortillas?

Here are your typical tortilla ingredients: Enriched Bleached Flour (Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Vegetable Shortening (Interesterified And Hydrogenated Soybean Oils), Contains 2% Or Less Of: Salt, Sugar, Baking Soda, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Distilled Monoglycerides, Enzymes, Fumaric Acid, And Calcium Propionate And Sorbic Acid (To Maintain Freshness).

WE ASK YOU, Why are all of those ingredients necessary?

Let’s try to find a cleaner label… Here is a typical supposed “clean label” tortilla ingredient list:

• Wheat Flour (Typically High Gluten)
• Water (Is it purified?)
• Palm Fruit Oil (A form of seed oil!)
• Baking Powder (Did you know that if not sourced properly, Baking Powder can contain aluminum and be enriched?)
• Cultured Wheat Flour (You may wonder why this ingredient is everywhere! This is NOT Sourdough!! This is a lab made ingredient! Check out our blog here to learn more!)
• De-Oiled Sunflower Lecithin (Sounds really natural!!… This processed binder is NOT necessary!)
• Tartaric Acid (What is the reason for this? Another dough conditioner…)
• Cane Sugar (Yuck! Sugar does not belong in tortillas ever!)
• Guar Gum (Another unecessary binder!)
• Sea Salt (We finally found an ingredient that might be good, if it is properly sourced!)

A Few Other Ingredients to Watch Out For…

• Shelf Life Extenders such as Calcium Propionate and Sodium Propionate. (There are many more!)
• Gums such as Guar Gum, Xanthium Gum, and Alpha Gum. (These act as binders for recipes, but can also tear up your gut. Your body was not made to digest all the binders that are added to food!
• Fumaric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Sorbic Acid, and Citric Acid are also used as preservatives and dough conditioners. Your body is not made to digest these processed acids.
