Fitbakes’ breakthrough has transformed the market for bread alternatives in the world of keto-addicts scanning the labels for hidden sugars. Their Wholegrain Wraps have just 3g of carbs per serve and are undisputed leaders in the category of wraps with the least carbs. The way to achieve this isn’t through synthetic fillers, but by an exquisite blend of traditional fermentation techniques and modern nutritional science that preserves the sourdough’s essence while reducing digestible carbohydrates.

Net Carbohydrates in low-carb Breads: What are they?
The magic begins with understanding carbs in low carb bread. Fitbakes uncovers this tactic. Each wrap weighs 40g and has 18g of total carbohydrates. However, 15g are made up of compounds like resistant wheat starch and oat fiber that the human digestive system is unable to digest. The fibers are inert and pass through the digestive system, with only a 3g impact on blood sugar levels.
This starch resistant is also a prebiotic. It feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and it produces short-chain fat acids which reduces inflammation. Journal of Nutrition research shows that diets with a high amount of fiber reduce HbA1c by 0.4% on average in people with type 2 diabetes over a period of 12 weeks. To put this in context certain prescription medications are administered via tortillas.
Fermentation Alchemy Sourdough meets Carb Friendly Wraps
Fitbakes uses an 18-hour wild fermentation process, using the exclusive lactobacillus strain. The prolonged time of souring reduces phytic acids by 60%, and also releases minerals such as magnesium and zinc that are locked away in standard bread. The resulting lactic acid creates the tangy backbone traditionally found in San Francisco sourdough, while Acetic acid is a natural preserver of the wrap without chemical additives.
The dough matrix includes golden flaxseeds ground in-house, providing omega-3 ALA as well as the lignans that help can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Psyllium husk, activated with warm water, creates a flexible gel which mimics gluten’s elastic properties. When baked at just 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 minutes, the surface is able to form micro-blisters, which are crisp when cooked in a hot pan and give you the savory tear of authentic flatbread. These carb-friendly wraps stay soft after cooling, as opposed to the almond flour ones that crack when at room temperature.
Fitbakes Wraps can be used as an ideal base for keto pizzas of 10 inches by docking the top of the wrap with the help of a fork. Then, bake it for eight minutes, then adding 2g-carb marinara and full fat mozzarella. A wrap can be transformed into a 10 inch keto pizza base. Cover the wrap with a knife and bake for eight minutes, then cover with full-fat cheese marinara 2g carb, or both. The high protein content of 11g per wrap, which comes from wheat flour, a vital ingredient, and pea isolater, helps prevent moisture when toppings are damp. Home cooks have stated that the crust is crisp and chewy, with a middle identical to the traditional dough. The entire pie contains 6g of net carbs.
Breakfast Wrap the wrap in a pan and fill it with scrambled egg, avocado and sugar-free bacon. Wrap it tightly. The fiber-based network absorbs moisture without breaking down, creating an ideal portable food item that stays in good shape during travel. Lunchboxes made by school lunches can be satisfied with the 14-month average storage period, and the fact that a wrap can satisfy hunger longer than two slices of cloudbread.
Storing food for a long-term freshness
Fitbakes packs every batch in sleeve that has been nitrogen flushed in order to stop flax oils from oxidizing. The wraps contain 38% bound moisture trapped in the psyllium fiber lattice resisting the process of retrogradation of starch which makes low carb breads hard within hours. You can reactivate them using the oven for 3 minutes at 300°F for a frozen package placed between parchment. This will eliminate the long baking sessions that are common for keto bread made from scratch.
Fitbakes Wholegrain Wraps are perfect bread for those struggling with PCOS or competes in bodybuilding. The tiniest carb wraps become the norm.
