In the world of keto-friendly eaters who scan every label for hidden sugars, Fitbakes has engineered a breakthrough that alters the guidelines of bread alternatives. Their Wholegrain Wraps are rated at 3g net carbs per portion and are the most popular among low carb wraps on the market. It is not due to artificial fillers, but rather a blend of ancient fermenting methods and the latest nutrition research that protects the sourdough’s spirit while cutting down on digestible carbs.

Net Carbohydrates in Low Carb Breads What are they?
The magic begins with understanding carbs in low carb bread. Fitbakes exposes the lies. The majority of commercial wraps hide 25-30g of net carbs under “whole grain” claims. Each wrap weighs 40g and contains 18g of carbohydrates total. But 15g of them are derived from compounds like resistant wheat starch or oatmeal fiber that the human digestive system cannot process. An independent lab test confirms that these fibers remain inert during digestion while passing through the digestive tract and leaving just 3g of impact on blood glucose levels.
This starch is probiotics, feeding the beneficial bacteria within your gut and producing short-chain fat acids that reduce inflammation. Research that was published in the Journal of Nutrition shows diets high in these fibers reduce HbA1c levels in the range of 0.4 percentage in type-2 diabetics for 12 weeks. To put it in perspective, that is the effects of prescription drugs that are administered via a simple tortilla.
Fermentation Alchemy Sourdough Combines Carb Friendly Wraps
Fitbakes utilizes a unique culture of lactobacillus to perform an 18-hour fermentation that is a wild ferment. This long souring process reduces phytic acid by 60%, and also releases minerals such as zinc and magnesium, which are held in regular bread. The lactic acid that results is the characteristic tangy backbone associated with San Francisco sourdough, while acetic acid naturally preserves the wrap without the use of chemical additives.
The dough matrix is made up of golden flaxseeds that are ground in-house, providing omega-3 ALA as well as lignans to aid in stabilizing blood sugar. Psyllium husk that has been activated by warm water, creates an elastic gel that mimics gluten’s elasticity. The exterior of the flatbread is able to form micro-blisters when baked at 375degF precisely for 11 minutes. These are crisp when cooked in a hot pan, and give it that authentic tear. The wraps are carb-friendly and remain elastic even after refrigeration, unlike almond-flour versions that are brittle when heated to ambient temperature.
Fitbakes wraps can be used in a variety of ways to be employed for more than lunch. Make one into a keto pizza with a 10-inch base by securing the surface with a fork, pre-baking for eight minutes, and loading with 2g of carb marinara and full-fat mozzarella. Its high-protein content of 11g per wrap from wheat gluten and pea isolate prevents moisture under wet toppings. Home cooks say that their pies have firm edges, chewy centers and are as similar to traditional dough.
For breakfast, heat the wrap in an oven-proof skillet. Fill with scrambled eggs, avocado, as well as sugar-free bacon. put it in a tight roll. The fiber network absorbs water and does not break, resulting in a convenient lunchbox that stays intact on commutes. The parents who prepare school lunches are happy with the 14-month storage duration, and the fact that wraps can satisfy hunger longer than two slices of cloudbread.
Storage Science and Long-Term Freshness
Fitbakes package each batch in nitrogen-flushed sleeves to avoid the flax oils from oxidizing. The wraps contain 38% of the moisture locked within the psyllium lattice. This stops the retrograde starch that can create a hardened crust on breads with low carbs. The wraps can be revived in just 3 minutes by freezing them between parchment sheets and then heating at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. They will retain their shape. This will stop the weekends of baking marathons that are common to keto bread recipes made from scratch.
Fitbakes Wholegrain Wraps are the perfect bread for anyone who is struggling with PCOS or competing in bodybuilding. The lowest carb wraps have become the norm.
