20 Feb: Sustainable baking: flatbreads

Flatbreads contribute significantly to the sustainability of food systems. They can be made from various cereals, pseudocereals, or pulses, promoting the use of local produce from marginal lands. Their short baking times, which can even eliminate the need for an oven, reduce energy consumption. Additionally, their ability to wrap around food or serve as utensils lessens the need for tableware and saves water.
