Daily Tidbit: A Wrap is a Wrap is a Wrap?
Mission | Santa Fe | |
Type of Grain | Whole Wheat | Whole Grain |
First ingredient | Whole Wheat Flour | Whole Wheat Flour |
Serving Size (1 Wrap) | 49g | 57g |
Calories | 130 | 100 |
Fiber | 4g | 7g |
Carbs | 24g | 13g |
Sugar | 3g | 0g |
Sodium | 300g | 328g |
Protein | 5g | 8g |
Fat | 2g | 3.5 |
Saturated Fat | .5g | 0g |
"Good" PUFA/ MUFA fat | .5g | 3.5g |
Iron | 8% | 8% |
Calcium | 15% | 10% |
So, for me Santa Fe beats out Mission in almost every way possible: more protein, more fiber, less calories, less carbs, less sugar, and better fats. Sorry Mission, but at about the same price (at Sam's Club) my choice to buy the Santa Fe brand is a no-brainer. The Santa Fe tortillas also have a chewier texture and nice subtle grilled flavor too! I'm a convert!

Very happy to report that I gave all my Fries to my children! I cannot eat just 1 or 2 Fries. If I have 1, I'll eat them all! So it's easier for me to not have any and share, than to try to just enjoy a few. And I ate enough Fries yesterday at lunch!
