Recommended Product: Sprouted Corn Tortillas

February 2, 2016

This is a short post about a Sprouted Corn Tortillas, a gluten-free alternative to wheat tortillas.

I found this product, in the frozen food section at Whole Foods Market on the Bowery, in New York City. They’re made by Food For Life. One tortilla is 60 calories, and contains no added sugar.

Warm the tortilla in an oiled skillet until firm. Add your favorite filling, and enjoy having a healthy meal.

The price of one package is $3.49 for 12 tortillas. If you live outside of New York City, you’ll most likely pay less than that.
