Low carb products are all the rage at the moment. Those on keto and low carb diets are always on the lookout for low carb versions of their favourite foods such as breads and wraps. We’ve already reviewed low carb breads and low carb potatoes and now we’re now giving you a quick look at these soft wraps from Woolworths.
These wraps have 65 per cent less carbs and are made with grains and seeds and come in a pack of five with supposedly the same great taste as the regular full-carb ones.
Woolworths 65% lower carb soft wraps are great and easy to store and use. One wrap weighs 45 grams. There are 5 wraps in the 225 g packet.
Water, modified wheat starch, wheat protein isolate (wheat gluten, mineral salt 339, acidity regulator 270), cereal mix 9% (wholemeal wheat flour, rye meal, wheat flour, rice flour, maize semolina, barley flour, linseed, soy flour, oat fibre, flax seed, vitamins (thiamin, folic acid)), wheat gluten, vegetable oil, cultured wheat flour (wheat flour, vinegar), iodised salt, raising agent 501, mineral salt (450, 341), acidity regulator 297, vegetable gum 412.
I have three questions re these ingredients:
339 = sodium phosphates
450 = sodium pyrophosphate
341 = calcium phosphates
270 = lactic acid
297 = fumaric acid
These wraps contain gluten and soy flour so not suitable for anyone on a gluten-free diet or with allergies to wheat or soy. More details here.
These wraps cost $5.00 for a pack of five. This is on a par with Mission lower carb wraps but they have almost half of the carbohydrate of the Mission brand.
A good product if you like and use wraps regularly and wish to manage your carb intake. They are also an excellent source of fibre, source of protein and are free of added sugar. Sure sounds like a win-win to me!
