Well, wraps basically do the same thing as sliced bread; they hold ingredients and fillings in one place, so you can eat them without making a complete mess, but for some reason, they seem to be the healthier option. The basic wrap may be pictured as delicious looking with fresh veggies, lean turkey breast, tomatoes, and a slice of cheese, so its no wonder that most people take it as higher in nutritional value. You would rarely ever see wraps loaded with fatty meats and globs of melted cheese. But do the wraps themselves have anything over on bread? Do they live up to their healthy reputation?
On the surface, there doesn't actually appear to be much difference at all between bread and wraps. Both are made with similar ingredients, and the biggest difference is that bread is leavened with yeast and a wrap is flat. Both offer fibre and an assortment of vitamins and minerals, but if you take a closer look, you'll find that bread comes out to be the nutritional winner.
