With December gone and the decorations taken down we can look forward to a month of clean eating. January has always been a month to take time to reset and nourish our bodies, and if you are thinking about a healthy start to the year, then we have some tasty and healthy foods to recommend.
At the top of the list, will always be our nutritious pittas – let’s take a closer look how they are crafted.
Wholemeal pitta - the healthy option.
Our wholemeal pittas are made from stoneground wholemeal and have a higher wholemeal percentage compared to average supermarket pittas. With an increased fibre content, they make for a healthier choice whether you're grabbing a sandwich on the go or preparing a packed lunch for the kids. We recommend choosing wholemeal pittas for the healthier option.
Are you doing Veganuary? Our pittas are vegan and low in fat!
You might like to know that our pittas are vegan, low in fat and made with a very slow fermentation process. They are therefore a great healthy choice which your gut and digestive system will appreciate.
Pitta bread is thinner than normal bread and therefore not as carb-heavy but packed with a nutritious filling they make a substantial meal.
At Mamoosh, we think of them as an inside out sandwich i.e. with a soft, fluffy interior, it is business on the outside and party on the inside!
So, what about those healthy fillings?
For a healthy lunch or dinner, the magic of our pittas really comes down to the fluffy, hollow centre. The natural pitta pocket is an invitation for you to absolutely pack your pitta with as much wholesome goodness as you can dream up!
Our pittas will hold a big mix of salad or vegetable ingredients and still have room for more! Add your protein with options like falafel, tofu, or huge dollops of dip, and then a good serving of your favourite dressing or sauce and what you end up with is a healthy, nutritious and filling meal that you can easily pick up in your hands or pack for lunch!

Where can you buy our pittas?

How to use and store your pittas
Unlike shop-bought pittas, Mamoosh pittas are baked and delivered fresh, so we can confidently sell them knowing they have that ‘just baked’ goodness. Because we don’t seal them in long-life packaging, they are best eaten fresh or popped in your freezer for convenient use at a later date. They freeze really well and are quick and easy to thaw making our pittas a healthy and versatile mealtime accompaniment.
Pittas are a truly convenient choice to help you through the month and get the year off to a great start.
