whole wheat pita

Unrefined pocket bread

Whole wheat pita is pita bread made with whole wheat flour rather than refined white flour, giving it a denser texture and nuttier flavor.

Like regular pita, it forms a pocket when baked that can be stuffed with fillings: I filled the whole wheat pita with falafel and hummus.

Often marketed as a healthier alternative.
