Pita chips are crispy, baked or fried slices of pita bread, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. Traditionally made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, these chips are seasoned with various spices like sea salt, garlic, or herbs to enhance flavor. Pita chips are often enjoyed as a snack or paired with dips like hummus and tzatziki. They provide a source of carbohydrates and can be relatively low in fat when baked. However, their nutritional profile can vary; fried versions may contain higher levels of fat and sodium. Whole-grain or multigrain pita chips are a healthier option, offering more fiber and nutrients compared to white flour varieties. While convenient and satisfying, moderation is key, as some store-bought versions may be calorie-dense and less nutrient-rich. Opting for homemade or baked pita chips allows greater control over ingredients and portion sizes.
