Varieties

Pitas are available in whole-grain and white flour versions, and come in several sizes.

Buying and storing tips

Buy pita in the bread, bakery, or refrigerated-foods section of most natural food and grocery stores. Choose the whole-grain variety whenever possible. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a week.

Preparation, uses and tips

Stuff whole-grain pita with diced fresh vegetables, sprouts, and low-fat dressing; cut into wedges and use as dippers for baba ghanoush (eggplant spread) and hummus (garbanzo bean spread).
