WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- Extremely high net carbs (~53.5g/100g) make ketosis difficult to maintain
- Even half a pita can consume most daily carb allowance on strict keto
- Refined wheat flour is rapidly absorbed, spiking glucose/insulin
- Better low-carb alternatives exist (lettuce wraps, cloud bread, keto bread)
HEALTH BENEFITS
- Provides some B vitamins from wheat flour
- Contains small amounts of minerals (phosphorus, magnesium)
- A modest fiber contribution vs. other refined breads
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
AVOID COMPLETELY
Skip pita on keto due to very high carbs. Opt for low-carb carriers instead.
LOW-CARB WRAP ALTERNATIVE
Use lettuce leaves, cloud-bread, or keto-bread for wraps stuffed with deli meats, cheese, and veggies.
BREAD-FREE APPETIZERS
Serve dips on cucumber rounds, bell pepper strips, or keto-crackers.
