[Review + Recipes] Mission Foods’ New Mini Wraps – Min-sized wraps for your Mini-mes

Mission Foods, one of the world’s largest producers of wraps recently introduced its first kid-sized wraps – Mini Wraps. The new 5.75 inch (~14.6cm) mini wraps are available in three flavours – Original, Wholemeal and Tomato and come in fun, illustrated monster packaging that is resealable, prolonging the freshness of the wraps.

Although smaller in size, the quality and taste are the same as the larger varieties.

“Kids need the right nutrition to grow and it’s sometimes a challenge to get them to eat the right foods. At Mission Foods, we’re parents too, and making healthy food exciting is what we do best,” shared Randall Tan, Brand Manager South Asia, Mission Foods.

“The fun and colourful monster illustration on the packaging brings a sense of delight to mealtimes. When food is fun, it goes down much more easily as kids tend to eat with their eyes first. It’s a great way to add a sense of play and experimentation in getting them to make their own meals,” he added.

Mission Foods’ new Mini Wraps are available for purchase at all leading supermarkets in the bakery aisle, alongside Mission’s existing range of wraps, naan, pita and pizza crusts.

To celebrate the launch, Asher and I were invited for a media cooking workshop at TOTT to make three simple, fun-to-eat dishes using the wraps. The recipes for each of the dishes as as below.

You are welcome to try the recipes yourself at home with the new Mission Foods’ Mini Wraps. They are extremely easy to prepare and Asher and I had fun preparing our own lunch together. A slow, fussy eater, Asher gobbled up most of what we made because he was involved in the food preparation process and love the they look, having decorated them himself.
