Jimmy John's Honey Wheat Tortilla

Moderate histamine

This tortilla is a honey wheat flatbread that lands moderate from its wheat and barley flour.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

The tortilla combines wheat flour, whole wheat flour, malted barley flour, and soybean oil, which set the moderate rating.

  • Wheat and malted barley flour — these milled grain flours are moderate, and the malted barley in the mix keeps the base from being fully low.

  • Soybean oil — the oil in the tortilla is also moderate, while the honey and salt are milder background players.

A lettuce-wrapped option or a plainer fresh bread tends to land lower if you are keeping histamine down.
