La Tortillería corn tortillas contain 864kJ of energy per 100g. This is approximately 206 calories per 100g. The caloric density of our tortillas is a result of using traditional nixtamalization rather than processed corn flour.
Nutritional Profile of Nixtamal Tortillas
Each 100g serving provides 864kJ of energy, 38g of carbohydrates, and 4.9g of protein. This balance makes them a clean energy source with only 2.6g of total fat. These figures reflect a product made solely from corn and sea salt.
Corn vs Wheat Flour Tortillas
Our corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and generally lower in calories than wheat-based alternatives. While flour tortillas often rely on additives and preservatives for shelf life, our masa is additive-free and include no nasties.
The Impact of Traditional Masa
We stone-grind whole Australian-grown corn to retain the grain’s natural nutrients and fibre. This creates a malleable, aromatic texture that is far superior to the dry consistency of supermarket masa harina. Customers at our Kensington tortilleria often notice how these authentic tortillas become soft and floppy when heated in a dry pan.
Dietary Certifications and Purity
Our production process ensures the tortillas are non-GMO, vegan, and FODMAP friendly. By avoiding trans fats and preservatives, we maintain a nutritional profile that is trusted by leading restaurants Australis-wide. The absence of fillers means you get the full nutritional benefit of the whole grain.
Finding Authentic Tortillas in Australia
You can purchase our authentic nixtamal tortillas online or at our store. We also supply a wide range of selected independent grocers across the country.
