A new tortilla developed in Mexico contains live microorganisms that preserve tortillas for several weeks without refrigerators.

The wheat flour version contains probiotics—live microorganisms found in yogurt and other fermented foods.

Less than two-thirds of people in Chiapas , a poverty-plagued region with a large Indigenous population, have a refrigerator.

The researchers patented their tortilla in 2023 , but the agreement fell through.
