Born out of necessity early 2011 we started as La Tauna Tortillas, a family owned and operated business located in Tucson AZ . Our ( Francisco and Diana's ) son (Jonathan) had been ill for years and part of the solution was healthier eating habits that included whole grains & no preservatives. We were accustomed to the taste, aroma and feel of homemade tortillas but were not able to find any healthy good tasting tortillas locally or on the internet . After a failed quest for healthy and good tasting tortillas, I (Diana) decided to work with an old family recipe until I created a very healthy & delicious recipe of my own. Me and my husband Francisco, decided to open La Tauna Tortillas in June of 2011;  when our local community food bank farmers market opened their doors to us. We had an immediate acceptance by the public, and 4 months later we were in all local Sprouts Farmers Markets and our local CO-OP, from there we went to manufacturing private labels for other natural health stores in all AZ and NM, all within a year of opening. After being 5 years in the market we noticed that even natives from Mexico where not familiar with the meaning of our brand name La Tauna (stone mill) and most couldn't even enunciate it therefore we decided to change our name to something easier to remember and that would relate to our products. This is how we became Natural Grains Tortillas
