Are Mission Whole Wheat Tortillas healthy? They are not so bad, but not really as healthy as they claim.
The label says 0 g trans fat even though the product has trans fats, although very little.
The company did a typical what I call “bait and switch” to fool you in to thinking you are eating health foods. They replace fats that normally make tortillas taste good with sugar, in this case brown sugar and raisin juice.
This product also has 31 ingredients. It’s better to choose a product with as few ingredients as possible. These tortillas are full of all kinds of dough conditioners and preservatives. I think conditioners are something to use on my hair, not food.
The good points of these tortillas are the fiber content, 3 grams per tortilla. They have very little fat and are a good choice when choosing a product with less than 1/3 of its calories from fat.
How is the taste? I have to admit good. They taste great.
The funny part, I had a good laugh about the heart health labels all over the product and then the high fat red meat recipe on the back.
I will eat the rest of them, but I won’t purchase this item again, but then again I will not throw them out and swear never to eat them again, like I did with Crisco.
