Tumaro's, Solae Company partner on soy-fortified flatbreads
The new Soy-full Heart flatbreads are the first nationally distributed soy-fortified flatbreads in the United States.
27/01/06 Tumaro's Gourmet Tortillas, America's best-selling flavored tortilla brand, have launched a new line of flatbreads incorporating Solae brand soy protein. The new Soy-full Heart flatbreads are the first nationally distributed soy-fortified flatbreads in the country and come in three varieties: Wheat, Soy & Flax, 8 Grain 'N Soy, and Apple 'N Cinnamon. The flatbreads are also the first to carry the "Good Source of Whole Grains" stamp by the Whole Grains Council.
Soy-full Heart flatbreads have 4g of fiber, 6g of protein and thanks to the flax in the Wheat, Soy & Flax flavor, have 420mg of Omega-3s. Taking "multi-grain" to new heights, Tumaro's new line is made with multiple whole grain flours. All varieties are 92% fat free, have 0 grams of trans fats, low cholesterol, low sodium, and are Kosher.
The new 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend all Americans eat at least 3 daily servings (or 48 grams) of whole grains. Recent studies show that eating this amount of whole grains can reduce the risk of heart disease by 25 to 36 percent, strokes by 37 percent, Type II diabetes by 21 to 27 percent, digestive system cancers by 21 to 43 percent and hormone-related cancers by 10 to 40 percent.
