Siete Foods unveiled Sourdough Style Tortillas as a new, fluffy, flour-like tortilla offering with a soft and pliable texture, a mild tang crafted through modern fermentation. This versatile release from the Mexican-American food brand expands the brand's gluten-free portfolio and reinvigorates a beloved tortilla format with a taste and texture beloved by millions across the country.
Alongside its new vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO Sourdough Style Tortillas, Siete Foods unveiled USDA organic, Maíz Tortillas (also gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO) with an authentic corn flavor, olive oil for softness and a touch of sea salt. As of late April, both gluten-free Siete Foods tortilla varieties are coming to retailers nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, Target, and Sprouts.
