Greek pita bread is a soft, round flatbread with origins in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Greece. Traditionally made from wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil, the dough is baked to create a pliable bread perfect for wrapping or dipping. Greek pita is smaller and thicker than some other types of pita, offering a hearty texture ideal for filling with meats, vegetables, and sauces in dishes like gyros and souvlaki. Nutritionally, it provides carbohydrates for energy and may include small amounts of protein from the flour. While the bread alone is relatively low in fat, its healthfulness depends on preparation methods and accompaniments. Whole wheat pita options can increase fiber content, supporting digestion. However, plain varieties may lack significant nutrients, and highly refined versions may spike blood sugar. For a nutritious choice, pair it with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats like hummus or tzatziki.
