Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped shocked the nation by uncovering that wraps were more fattening than two slices of white bread. We look at why commercial wraps are unhealthier than you may think.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Channel 4’s recent\u00a0Food Unwrapped<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>show looked at our lunchtime habits and made some discoveries about lunchtime eating that might shock you. This was especially true of the lunchtime wrap. Presenter\u00a0Kate Quilton<\/a>\u00a0and expert baker\u00a0Dan Lepard<\/a>\u00a0looked at why tortillas have 265 calories in the base alone, compared to182 calories in two slices of white bread. Our perception is that supermarket wraps are healthier than white bread sandwiches.\u00a0 “Essentially you want the wrap to roll<\/em>” said baker Dan Lepard, when asked why 8 tablespoons of fat go into each wrap. “You want it twist around things so you get this lovely curve in the dough<\/em>.”\u00a0 The fat makes the wrap pliable and the show agreed that even with all of that fat, it was still a handy construction for\u00a0lunchtime fillings.<\/p>

But that’s not all. What Food Unwrapped didn’t go on\u00a0to show\u00a0is what else is in a standard tortilla wrap. Although we saw when Dan Lepard made his wraps on the show that only five ingredients are really needed to make a wrap. However, if you look at most tortilla wraps in supermarkets, the list of ingredients is much higher than five.\u00a0<\/p>
