Hi! I was curious whether your maltodextrin was produced from corn or another source?
Thank you!
Hello Gretchen, thanks for your question.
The maltodextrin is from corn.
I really like these ww pitas. They are 100% whole wheat and have no oil. While they are nice soft, I like them best split, cut in wedges, and baked at 350 degrees until golden and crispy. These are a BIG hit at the whole-food, plant-based classes I teach in our community. We eat them with pico de gallo or anything that might need a chip for dipping. These are so much healthier than any chip that has oil. We’ve been fans of these for years, but especially now that we prefer a very low/no oil diet. Thank you for a great product at a reasonable price.
Hi, i purchased health baked pita yesterday for gyro.
I put them in the oven preheated 350°F for 5 mins and they looked good, but after another 5 minutes they hardened sadly.
Do you have any recommendation how to warm pita before serving on oven and microwave?
Hello Mayu and thanks for your question.
Toufayan Hearth Baked Pitas are ready to eat right out of the bag, so if you want to heat them up you only need a few minutes in the oven. Warm them for 3-5 minutes in a 350°F oven. In the toaster oven, only 2-3 minutes is enough. In either case, remove them while they’re still soft, so keep a close watch as they warm up.
I just want to say that I have never been a very big fan of bread but since I discovered your sweet onion pita bread I am an addict lol. It is so good! Now it’s my morning go-to for cheese toast most days. And I love the way it freezes. Great product! Thank you!
How can I read the expiration date??????
Hi Okom,
The date code is applied by your store manager. Toufayan Pita have a 5-6 day shelf life. Please check with your grocer.

Unfortunately, our Hearth Baked Savory Garlic Pita will no longer be available in stores. However, this flavor as well as our other pita varieties (Classic White, Low Carb, Multi-Grain, Sweet Onion and Whole Wheat) are all naturally vegan. Our Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Pita contains honey, so it is not considered vegan.

I reheated my pita bread and it became very stiff. Any recommendations to prevent this?
Hello Sal, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
When we warm up pita bread at home, we usually just put them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This should make them more pliable. If you find them stiffer, maybe your microwave can do the same in ten seconds! If you want to bake, toast or fry breads to make them softer, you should check them often because the warmth increases pliability but it quickly starts to harden as the moisture is cooked off. Also, you shouldn’t store them in the fridge, as this can cause them to harden as they lose moisture through condensation. Store unopened packages out of direct sunlight at room temperature, or in the freezer for up to 8 months. Thaw frozen pita at room temperature for a few hours.
The Pita does NOT open up, but instead rips apart. Unless for making sandwiches.
Last time I’ll buy this product.
We’re sorry you’ve had a difficult experience with our Hearth Baked Pitas. We recommend warming up pita bread in the microwave for a few seconds to make them easier to open. Adding heat to most breads will increase pliability as well, and brings out the flavors. Please comment further if you have any questions.
Do you sell the pita bread directly? We’ve only found one store near us who sells it and sometimes it’s not available.
Hi Toni,
You can purchase our Pita Bread on Amazon. Only 3 packs are available for sale online, however, you can freeze unopened packages for up to 8 months. After defrost, Our Pita Breads have a shelf life of 7-9 days.
Feel free to respond with any questions or comments.
Can we order online? What is the minimum order?

Are Toufayan Bakeries Low Carb Pita Bread POCKET pitas???
All of our pitas, including our Low Carb Pitas are pocket pita bread. Warm them up for a few seconds in the microwave to make the pockets open more easily.
I would like to come and buy a case directly from the bakery. Is this possible and where are you located?
Hi Stephanie, thank you for your interest.
Our headquarters are in New Jersey and we have two facilities in Florida. All three locations have factory stores which offer various products by the case. However, due to the current crisis, none of those stores are open to the public. You can find our Hearth Baked Pita Bread on Amazon.
Thx
Does they have toufayan pita white 8 one ounce loaf
I can’t find it in Florida
I ll buy a case just to find them from any where
Hi, Shehata. Thanks for reaching out. We will have somebody email you with additional information.
Where is the expiration date on the package?
The date code is handled by your grocer. Each grocer or market may use a different method. Some have their distributors print the code on the bags or on the plastic clasp that holds the bag closed, others apply a sticker when they stock the shelves. If the code isn’t readable, we recommend bringing it to the attention of the store manager. Let us know where you purchased our Hearth Baked Pita and we can work with the grocer on their process.
Trying to get the 75 Cent coupon, but it doesn’t seem to want to arrive in my mailbox.
We sent you an email directly, please check your spam folder if you haven’t seen it yet!
Hi!
I had been purchasing your Onion Pita bread at my local Kroger forever it seems. I was told a couple days ago it is no longer available. Did you drop the item or did my local Kroger cease ordering from you?? They have your white and whole wheat pita bread so it isn’t the end of the world 😉
Thanks for your interest, Warren.
We continue to make our Hearth Baked Sweet Onion Pita, you should be able to find it in your local Publix. Please use our where to buy page to look for products near you. Or, click here to find Pita near you. You can also ask your Kroger store manager to add Toufayan Sweet Onion Pita to their inventory again, or ask them to contact us directly.
Hi, what is the shelf life of this products in the refrigerator or in the storage?
The shelf life for our Hearth Baked Pita bread is 5 to 6 days. Refrigeration can increase the shelf life by 3–5 days. Before refrigerating, make sure the pitas are sealed well to prevent drying and that there’s no visible moisture in the packaging. Frozen pita may last up to 6 months.
[…] So, when Toufayan Bakeries decided to do a sponsored recipe contest with The Recipe ReDux members, I thought about ways I could create a version of a chopped Caesar salad with their line of pita breads. […]

Do you still bake Pita Oat? That is our favorite and we do not find it anywhere here in

Hello! Our family absolutely love your product! We used to buy OAT BRAN a lot, but now it is impossible to find this particular pita bread in our grocery stores in South Florida. We placed an order at local Publix not once, but unfortunately we were told that Toufayan has discontinued making Oat Bran. It’s sad because you have Toufayan Bakery in Florida but for some reason we can’t buy the product we love and had been baying for years. What happened? Thank you!
Hi Elena,
It fills us with joy to hear that you and your family love our Pita bread products! Yes, we have discontinued our Oat Bran Pita; however, we are currently working on a new Oat Bran Pita recipe. In the meantime we do have other options for you and your family to enjoy. You can find more Pita varieties, along with updates to the new Oat Bran Pita on our Products Page so check back soon!
Thanks again!
Does Toufayan still make the whole wheat pre-cut pita? That was my favorite but I haven’t seen it at my grocery store recently.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your interest in Toufayan’s Hearth Baked Pita. Our round Pita is not pre-cut although we do bake Whole Wheat Smart Pockets. These are pre-cut and ready to be stuffed with your favorite ingredients. Enjoy!
Dear Toufayan Bakeries,
I was curious if your Whole Wheat Pita Hearth Baked is vegan?
Hi Samantha,
Thank you for your interest in our Hearth Baked Whole Wheat Pita. While they are not vegan, we do have products that are in fact vegan certified. You can find more info on our Product Groups page.
Is there an expiration date on the whole wheat pita?
Date codes are applied by your grocer. Sometimes they print them on the package off-center near the front. Sometimes they print them along the ruffled top-opening or on the twist-tie. Grocers might use a sticker, or price gun to apply a code date, in which case they are typically white rectangles with a 6 digit date code that represents the ‘best if used by’ date. Toufayan Hearth Baked Pita have a 5-6 day shelf life and should be eaten or frozen before then. We recommend you ask your store manager for details.
