Where are tortilla wraps in the eatwell plate?

Tortilla wraps don't neatly fit into one specific category of the Eatwell Plate. Here's why:

* Starchy foods: Tortillas are primarily made from maize (corn), which is a starchy food. However, the Eatwell Plate focuses on starchy foods like bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta, which are typically consumed as part of a meal.

* Fruit and vegetables: Tortillas themselves don't contain fruit or vegetables. However, they can be filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables, making them a part of a healthy meal.

* Dairy: If you use cheese or yogurt as a filling, that would be a dairy component.

The best way to think about tortilla wraps in the Eatwell Plate is to consider them a "flexible" food:

* They can be part of a healthy meal: Fill them with plenty of vegetables, lean protein, and a small amount of cheese or yogurt.

* They can be a less healthy option: If you load them with processed meats, cheese, and unhealthy sauces, they become a less nutritious choice.

Ultimately, the nutritional value of tortilla wraps depends on what you fill them with. The Eatwell Plate is a guide to help you make balanced and healthy food choices.
