Nutrition Notes

What’s the Benefit of Using Whole-Wheat Wraps?

Whole wheat is a whole grain—and whole grains have been shown to have many health benefits. Most of the benefits come specifically from the fiber and antioxidants in whole grains. A diet rich in whole grains has been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease, partly by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The antioxidants in whole grains help reduce inflammation in the body as well. Whole grains also supply the body with healthy carbs. (Did you know that the only form of energy the brain uses is glucose—which comes from carbohydrates?)

Can I Swap the Bacon for Turkey Bacon?

Absolutely! However, if you’re making the swap for nutrition and health reasons, just know that there aren’t a lot of differences between turkey bacon and pork bacon. The main difference is in the saturated fat content—pork bacon has about 1 gram more saturated fat than turkey bacon per slice. And for this recipe, the amount of bacon used is just enough to add that smoky bacon flavor. So, if you really prefer pork bacon, by all means, use it.

Wrap Them in Foil When You’re on the Go

Keeping the filling inside wraps can be challenging, especially if you’re on the go. That’s why we recommend wrapping them in foil so you can pick them up and eat them without losing the filling, peeling back the foil as you go.
