Make Burritos For Lunch!

Ethnic foods are gaining in popularity. The Hispanic population is growing faster than the overall population in the United States, and due to this, Latin foods are becoming more popular among consumers. The Hispanic population encompasses 15 percent of the total population in the U.S., and that number is expected to grow to 30 percent by 2050. Sales of Hispanic foods are at 7 billion dollars annually, and expected to rise to 12 billion by 2014.

Until recently, ethnic foods in the natural marketplace were hard to find, but since 1990 the ethnic purchasing power has more than doubled. This generation is the most diverse in American history, and with that diversity comes an opportunity for unique, tasty, and healthy products.

What's so cool about being in the tortilla business is that we don't have to educate people on what a tortilla is; everyone knows. I think the surprise comes when people realize that a whole wheat tortilla can actually taste good. One of our biggest compliments is when one of our Hispanic friends or customers say, "I grew up on grandma's or mom's homemade tortillas and these [Created Whole Tortillas] are GOOD!"

We are really blessed to be entering the market at this time, with such an exceptional product. The opportunities ahead of us are limitless.
