One thing that we have really missed after going gluten free was good tortilla shells. Most gluten free shells either taste bland, or they fall apart when you roll them.
Then, we experienced Sandwich Petals. These petal-shaped tortilla shells (flat-breads) are delicious. Not only are they delicious, but they are also healthy. They contain no gluten, no dairy, no nuts, no eggs, no wheat, no shellfish, and no soy.
These hearty shells are made from multiple gluten free whole grains, and pair well with both light and heavy ingredients. Sandwich Petals are shelf stable for 30 days. Just pop them in the microwave for 25-30 seconds to have a nice, flexible shell that does not break when you roll it.
When we received our first package of Sandwich Petals, I made a tuna salad wrap for Munchkin and a chicken salad wrap for myself. I gave Munchkin her wrap as I completed putting together my wrap. Next thing I hear is “Mmmmm… this is sooooo good!” After biting into my wrap, I had to agree. Over the next few days, we tried out the 3 different wraps: Agave Grain, Spinach Garlic, and Chimayo Red Chile.
D and I really enjoyed using the Chimayo Red Chile wraps for various Mexican dishes. Munchkin likes the Agave Grain the best. The Spinach Garlic is great for various chicken salad, egg salad, or tuna salad wraps. You can taste the unique flavor of each type of wrap, but the flavors are not overwhelming.
We knew these would quickly become a staple in our household. Sandwich Petals offers a great Buy One Get One Free special on Mondays in the online shop. The variety pack which contains 1 dozen petals of each flavor (36 total petals) is normally $25, but on Monday, you can receive 2 dozen petals of each flavor for the same price!
Now that our own purchased order has arrived, I will be creating more recipes for these delicious shells. Sandwich Petals has a fun weekly contest on their site. They encourage readers to submit their own original recipes using Sandwich Petals. Each week, they will pick the most creative recipe to win a free box of Sandwich Petals. Stop by and see some of the creative recipes for Sandwich Petals.

I received a free sampler pack of Sandwich Petals for the purpose of doing this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
I’m going to have to share these yummy recipes with my sister-n-law. My nephew has many food allergies! They sound good!
