Aniya Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Pre Whole30 I frequently ate a flatbread wrap stuffed with raw spinach, mushrooms, shredded carrots, perhaps a handful of delivered almonds etc. I tried to use endive as a wrap - very messy. Could I make wraps from coconut flour and olive oil? ( I hope this isn't a "pancake" type question) I really just want a simple way to contain my veggies other than a bowl.

jmcbn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Have you tried wrapping your salads in lettuce leaves?What you're suggesting isn't exactly a pancake, but it IS an attempt to recreate an old food from compliant ingredient & no beuno for your Whole30 - sorry!

laura_juggles Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 How about big lettuce leaves? Butter lettuce, or even the outer leaves of iceberg work really well as a wrap. I've seen people use collards as wraps too, but I don't like collard greens enough to want to try it raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2016 You can steam collard leaves and then use them as wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurathegoth Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 You could also make a thin plain omelette to use as a wrap, they hold very well and obviously taste great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniya Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ok. Thanks everyone for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you have a crispy lettuce like iceberg and it snaps rather than wrapping, make cups, san choy bau style, this guy has done a how to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrvHyO3FifE some people also trim the cup with scissors for a clean edge (I can't be bothered) *but don't follow his recipe for a filling (not compliant! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If I could get my hands on compliant deli turkey slices (big ones), I would use THEM to wrap up your normal "fixin's". Mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've used nori (dried seaweed sheets) successfully although I recommend that your filling be on the moist side (think chicken or tuna salads with lots of mayo) or you spread mayo and mustard right onto the sheet before adding your fillings...unless you like the texture of eating paper.

laura_juggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is paper compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Oh..... it should be. The paper possibilities are endless! I can see the recipes on pinterest now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Mmmmmm.... PAPER. < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 {For the record, to all: I am not actually on pinterest. I have only heard of such things. And I am not a moderator. I have no idea if paper would actually be compliant or not. But I'm guessing they'd tell you do google "Whole 30 + paper" and someone has probably already asked this question.} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is paper compliant? Well, people come on here asking if they can eat grass and bark, so why wouldn't you be allowed to eat wood fibre? I say, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted January 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just make sure that the paper isn't a recycled envelope... I think those would have sweetener in the lick and stick seal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hmm. I'd say no, because I have major doubts that eating paper would make you more healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I had a food dream once about eating wood (pretty sure it was a table leg or other dream weirdness) and I was told it was technically compliant, but of low nutritional value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Okay, we've only had four moderators officially weigh in on this one. I'm gonna need the rest of you to give us your votes. I know you're out there. I'm going to the office supply store soon, and I need to know what to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Definitely avoid coloured paper, Brewer - artificial dyes, you know. And watch out for glossy paper! I'm guessing cardboard would have more fiber. Especially corrugated cardboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
