Food For Life Baking Co. has announced the newest addition to its Ezekiel 4:9 bread line, Organic Sprouted Flourless Pita Bread. As with all of Food For Life’s Ezekiel 4:9 breads, the new Pita Bread is certified organic, flourless, and made from live, sprouted grains. The Pita Bread is now available in a six-count bag in the freezer section at natural food stores and select supermarkets across the U.S.

Food For Life sprouts the grains in all of its Ezekiel 4:9 breads, and the company’s new Pita Bread is no exception. Sprouted grains maximize nutrition and increase the absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc by breaking down enzyme inhibitors. Plus, sprouted grains promote a more balanced pH, the company says. Food For Life’s unique sprouting process also aims to enhance digestibility by breaking down starches—which also reduces the Pita Bread’s glycemic index. Furthermore, slow-baking each Pita Bread preserves the nutrient-dense properties, including their natural fiber and bran benefits, the brand adds.

Food For Life’s Pita Bread is certified organic, non-GMO, kosher, and does not contain artificial preservatives, oils, or shortenings. The new Pita Bread features a combination of freshly sprouted grains and legumes including wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. Together, these ingredients provide the foundation for a complete plant protein with nine essential amino acids, 18 amino acids in all, the company notes.

“We have found that the combination of only the very best ingredients with tried-and-true baking methods we’ve perfected over the last fifty years makes a truly exceptional Pita Bread,” says Gary Torres, Food for Life’s company principal. “With great taste and unparalleled nutrition, we believe we’ve created the world’s healthiest bread in pita form.”
