White Pita Bread Fiber Content???

[Charlie Tokyo]

Is that possible? According to the Nutrition Facts on New Jasmine Bakery's white pita bread, each piece has 5g of fiber. I mean an apple only has 3-5 grams of fiber.

There are certainly different white flours with different amounts of fiber in them. King Arthur, for example, makes a White Whole Wheat Flour that has a significant amount of fiber and could easily be used to produce a pita bread. See, http://www.kingarthurflour.com/flour/... Additional fiber may also come from other ingredients in the product.

Of much greater importance, how does it taste?

[magiesmom]

but it would say whole wheat flour on the ingredients list.

[MGZ]

Maybe, but the point is there are white flours that have more fiber than others. Most unbleached flours do, as do others that are similarly less processed. BTW - What does the ingredient list say?

[Charlie Tokyo]

It taste great. New Jasime Bakery is the best. That is saying a lot with all the bakeries in Dearborn, MI.

Local only?

I'm not sure if they export to other states, but they do have a website where they sell products. The ingredients read as follows:
flour and whwat flour
niacin benozoperoxide
iron
thiamine monostrate
ascorbic acid
alpha amylase
riboflavin folur acid
water
sugar
yeast
salt

I think this list is missing some parentheses. The ingredients before "water" are the ingredients in enriched whole wheat flour. I'm guessing it should say: flour (wholewheat flour, niacin benozoperoxide, iron, thiamine monostrate, ascorbic acid, alpha amylase, riboflavin, folic acid), water sugar, yeast salt.
