Lebanese Pita is a soft, round flatbread that originates from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanon. Made from simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of sugar, its dough is rolled thin and baked at high temperatures to create a pocket when sliced. Versatile and flavorful, pita serves as a staple food in Lebanese households, used as a wrap, a scooping tool for dips like hummus, or simply enjoyed plain. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides quick energy, while fiber content can vary depending on whether whole wheat or white flour is used. Whole wheat Lebanese Pita offers added nutrients like iron and B vitamins, supporting digestive health and sustained energy levels. However, traditional white pita is less nutrient-dense due to refined flour. Low in fat and free of added sugars, this bread can be a wholesome part of balanced meals when paired with lean proteins and fresh vegetables.
