Gerry’s Wraps’ range of gluten-free corn tortillas is also made of corn sourced mostly from the Americas, which is where the best corn in the world grows.
Corn tortillas have been a staple in the Americas for thousands of years, as seen in this section of a 1830s lithograph by artist Carl Nebel called “Las Tortilleras” which shows women making tortillas, early 19th century Mexico. Courtesy: Wikipedia
