Description

Wonton wrappers are thin sheets of dough made primarily from wheat flour, water, and sometimes egg, traditionally used in Chinese cuisine to prepare dumplings or wontons. These wrappers have a delicate and flexible texture that allows them to enclose various fillings, from meats and seafood to vegetables and vegetarian mixtures.

Their origin dates back to Chinese gastronomy, where wonton is an iconic dish consisting of small filled dough parcels, boiled or fried, served in soups or as appetizers. Today, wonton wrappers are used in many Asian cuisines and in fusion recipes worldwide.

In terms of their properties, wonton wrappers are low in fat and calories, providing mainly carbohydrates from the flour. Their convenience facilitates the homemade preparation of varied and creative bites.

In Latin America, these products may also be known as dumpling sheets, Chinese dumpling dough, or simply dumpling wrappers, although the term "wonton" is widely used due to its international recognition.
