In an age where keto lovers scrutinize every product for hidden sugars, Fitbakes has engineered a innovation that is rewriting the rules of bread alternatives. The Wholegrain Wraps are the lowest carb wraps available, with only 3g net carbs in each portion. This is not made possible by artificial fillers, but rather the combination of traditional fermentation techniques and modern nutrition science which preserves the soul of sourdough while decreasing digestible carbohydrates.
Net Carbohydrates, Low Carb Breads – What is the mystery?
The trick is to understand carbs in low carb bread. Fitbakes exposes the deception. Most commercial wraps conceal 25-30g of net carbs in “whole grain” claims. Each wrap contains 18 grams of carbs. 15g of them are derived from resistant wheat and oat starch compounds which aren’t easily digestible by our gut. The fibers are inert and pass through the digestive system, with only a 3g impact on blood sugar.

The resistant starch can also be a prebiotic. It provides food to beneficial gut bacteria and produces short-chain fatty acid which reduces inflammation. Journal of Nutrition published research that found diets high in the fibers could lower HbA1c for type 2 diabetics by the average of 0.4 percent over a twelve-week period. To put this in context, some prescription drugs are dispensed via tortillas.
Fermentation Alchemy: Sourdough meets Carb Friendly wraps
Fitbakes uses a proprietary culture of lactobacillus that performs an 18-hour wild ferment. This prolonged souring period reduces phytic acids by 60%, and also releases minerals such as magnesium and zinc, which are held in regular bread. The lactic acid that results produces the distinctive tanginess of San Francisco sourdough while the acidic acetic acids help preserve the wrap.
The dough matrix contains golden flaxseeds and is processed in-house. They are rich in omega-3 ALA, and Lignans, which help aid in stabilizing blood sugar. The psyllium gel forms when warm water is activated in the husk. It is akin to the elasticity of gluten. After baking at 375 degrees F (11 minutes) the exterior develops small bubbles that pop up in a hot pan. This creates the sensation of flatbread. These carb friendly wraps remain pliable even after refrigeration, unlike almond-flour versions that crumble at room temperature.
The versatility of Fitbakes wraps is far beyond lunchtime. Make one into a keto pizza with a 10-inch base by attaching the top by using a fork. Bake for 8 minutes before adding 2g-carb marinara as well as full-fat mozzarella. A high protein content of 11g/wrap, derived from wheat flour, a vital ingredient, and pea isolator. It prevents moisture when toppings are damp. Home cooks tell us that their pies have crisp edges, a chewy center and are indistinguishable as traditional dough.
Breakfast Wrap the wrap in a hot skillet. Fill it with scrambled eggs avocado or sugar-free bacon. Then roll tightly. The fibers absorb moisture and resist deteriorating, making it a easy meal to take to go. The parents who prepare school lunches are content with the 14 month ambient storage duration, and the fact that a wrap can satisfy hunger more than 2 slices of cloudbread.
Freshness and storage
Fitbakes package each batch in nitrogen-flushed sleeve to stop the flax oils from oxidizing. The wraps are enriched with 38% of water that is trapped in the psyllium fiber lattice resisting the starch retrogradation that makes low carb breads hard within hours. They can be revived with three minutes at 300 degrees F to freeze a pack and place it between parchment. This makes it less necessary to run baking marathons over the weekend, which are common with keto-bread recipes made at home.
Fitbakes Wholegrain Wraps is the perfect bread for those dealing with PCOS or is competing in bodybuilding. Wraps made with lower carbs don’t mean an uncompromising position, they’re the latest standard.
