Burger King Flour Tortilla
This flour tortilla is moderate in histamine, mostly from cultured wheat flour and the hydrogenated oil.
Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.
This is a soft wheat wrap, and a couple of its ingredients land it at moderate.
-
The tortilla itself — it includes cultured wheat flour along with wheat flour and gluten, which brings it up to moderate rather than sitting as low as a plain fresh bread.
-
Hydrogenated soybean oil — this fat is also flagged moderate here, adding to the level alongside the wrap.
If you want a lower base, a plain fresh bread or bun is the gentler choice.
