Organic Spelt Piadina, 260 g – La Bio Idea
Tortillas, piadinas, flatbreads, or perhaps pancakes? Which specialty are we dealing with, and how does it differ from other flatbreads?
What is a Tortilla
The original tortilla is a Mexican corn flatbread with a diameter ranging from 6 to 30 cm. Fried in a cast-iron pan, it tastes perfect with meat toppings, beans, tomatoes, and cilantro. It is crispy and naturally gluten-free. It can serve as a base for a dish or a delicious side.After wheat was introduced to Mexico by Spanish newcomers, wheat tortillas gained increasing popularity. To this day, they compete with corn flatbreads because they are more pliable and better suited for wrapped dishes.
What is a Piadina
Piadina Romagnola, also known as piada, is actually the name of an entire dish. It originates from the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy. It is a warm wheat flatbread with a savory or sweet filling. The dish reigns supreme among Italian street food and is sold in special stalls—piadinerias.Originally, piadas were baked on special plates placed over a fire. Nowadays, they are fried in a pan or grilled. The filling typically consists of tomato sauce, cheese, meat, greens, or jam/chocolate.
Why Was the Spelt Tortilla Created?
Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat. It is currently considered a healthier version of wheat. This grain has never been genetically modified, making it a rediscovered favorite as a healthy food, often cultivated organically.The organic spelt piadina tortilla from La Bio Idea is made with just a few simple ingredients:
- spelt flour,
- water,
- sunflower oil,
- salt,
- natural flavouring.
