Please explain why first ingredient is organic wheat flour , second is water. How can you claim that these are sprouted whole wheat? What is the percentage of sprouted whole wheat ?
We appreciate your concern and are grateful for your interest. There aren’t any standards of identity that require a specific amount of Organic Sprouted Wheat in our line or Organic Sprouted Wheat Products. The exact percentage is proprietary but rest assured that we sought to offer the best nutritional product we could. Using 100% sprouted wheat caused the enzymes produced from the sprouting process to prevent us from being able to consistently create a pocket on the pita bread or create wraps elastic enough to be folded. Additionally, using 100% sprouted wheat in our recipe would effect the cost significantly. The percentage of Sprouted Whole Wheat was carefully measured to ensure we provided the highest value and most nutritional product possible.
We understand your suspicion as we are consumers ourselves and see companies trying to either sell less for the same amount of money or charge too much. We truly believed that if we sold a low quality product at a higher cost we would end up throwing away a lot of bread when it got discontinued, all the packaging and everything we would have done would be wasted, which is not responsible either.
As it is, the movement on these products is less than 7% of our regular products but we continue to make them to try and serve the smaller market that demands an even healthier choice than our regular pitas (which our own family chooses to eat). We do appreciate your comments even if you choose to not purchase the product. We do listen as we want to do our best for our customers and business.

We found these (Toufayan Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Pita Pockets) a few weeks ago at our grocery store. We use them as a pizza crust. They are wonderful and just the right number of carbs for my type 1 husband. The best part – we get to have pizza whenever we want!!!!
That’s great! We’d love to hear about your recipe.
It looks like you are starting to label your vegan products, which is great. But can you please send me a list of your vegan products that are not labeled yet? My family and I are vegan and it will be very helpful for us when we are at the grocery store.
Best regards,
Hussein.
Currently we have Vegan certification for our Gluten-Free Pita Chips. Our line of Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Products are made with vegan ingredients. Also, our Organic Naan products are made with only vegan ingredients.
Certain ingredients, such as Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL), are harder to certify as vegan. These ingredients are produced from microbial fermentation and can be derived from plant or animal sources. While we strive to ensure our ingredients are derived from plant sources, the existence of animal-based sources for this ingredient often classifies the ingredient as ‘possibly non-vegan’. For this reason, we avoid labeling the products as vegan. However, we invite you to make your own choice about SSLs and similar ingredients.
Thanks for your interest and please feel free to comment further or ask any questions.
Hi,
I do not see this product listed as vegan. But all of the ingredients look vegan to me. Is it a vegan product? If not, can you let me know which ingredient is made with animal products?
Thank you!
Our Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat products aren’t yet certified vegan, however, we don’t use any non-vegan ingredients.

how do you store the smart pockets after you open them?
Hello Mike,
We use the resealable closure, making sure to remove as much air from the package as possible. You can also use a resealable storage bag. We recommend you keep them in a cool dry place, room temperature is usually fine. Avoid storing bread on top of the refrigerator, because that area is usually warmer than the rest of your kitchen. Some people prefer to store bread in the fridge. That’s fine, just make sure that the bag is very well-sealed – any air inside will cause condensation and will dry out your Smart pockets. If you do keep it chilled, we recommend a short spin in the microwave before serving.
It is okay to freeze bread, just be sure that the bag is perfectly sealed with little or no air inside. It is best to freeze things that are already chilled, to ensure even temperature changes. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and use within three days of defrosting. Breads can be kept frozen safely for up to 3 months.
Are the Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Pitas made with nuts, sunflower, chickpeas, or milk? Do they share the same equipment with nuts, sunflower, chickpeas, or milk?
Hello William,

Our Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Pitas are made on equipment that doesn’t process anything else. Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Wraps are also made on dedicated equipment. Toufayan Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Smart Pockets are processed on equipment that also processes sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
Hi Toufayan:
Why does the first ingredient not have organic in front of it? Why doesn’t the wheat gluten and wheat starch also not have organic in front of it? Are ALL of the ingredients actually organic, or is it only the sprouted whole wheat flour and honey?

Hello Josie,
Sorry for the confusion, the above post wasn’t comprehensive – we have corrected it. Please take a look again and let us know if you have any other questions.
Are all these items yeast-free and strictly GMO-free?
Hello Lawrence and thank you for your interest.
All of our Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat products are made with yeast. They are certified organic by the USDA. We have not yet received Non-GMO certifications on these products. Please try them out and let us know what you think about them.
Thanks again!
