Fitbakes is an organization that has made an innovative product in the world of bread substitutes. Keto-lovers are always checking labels for hidden sugars. Their Wholegrain Wraps register just 3g net carbs in each serving and are the undisputed champion among lowest carb wraps available on the market. This is not achieved by synthetic fillers, but instead a combination of ancient fermentation techniques and modern nutrition science which preserves the soul of sourdough while reducing digestible carbs.

Understanding the Net Carb Mystery in Low Carb Breads
The magic begins with understanding carbs in low carb bread. Commercial wraps typically conceal 25-30g net carbs under “whole grain” claims, however Fitbakes exposes this lie. Each wrap weighs 40g and has 18g of carbohydrates total. However, 15g are made up of compounds like resistant wheat starch or oat fibre that the human digestive system is unable to digest. A study conducted by an independent laboratory confirms that these fibers remain inert through digestion while passing through the digestive tract leaving just 3g impact on blood glucose.
This resistant starch is also an important prebiotic. It provides food to beneficial gut bacteria and also produces short-chain fatty acids that reduces inflammation. Journal of Nutrition research shows that diets rich in fibers reduce HbA1c by 0.4 percent in type-2 diabetes patients over a period of 12 weeks. In context, this is similar to the results of a few prescription medications delivered through a simple tortilla.
Fermentation Alchemy – Sourdough is a perfect match for Carb Friendly Wraps
Fitbakes utilizes a unique culture of lactobacillus for an 18-hour fermentation that is a wild ferment. This long souring process reduces phytic acids to 60% and allows the release of minerals such as zinc and magnesium, which are locked away in standard bread. The resultant lactic acid forms the characteristic tangy backbone associated with San Francisco sourdough, while Acetic acid is a natural preserver of the wrap without chemical additives.
The dough matrix incorporates golden flaxseeds ground in-house, giving omega-3 ALA and lignans to can help stabilize blood sugar levels. If activated by hot water, psyllium husk forms a gel similar to gluten’s flexibility. When baked at 375°F (11 minutes) the exterior begins to form tiny bubbles which crisp up in a hot pan. This creates the sensation of a flatbread. The carb-friendly wraps remain soft after cooling, as opposed to the almond-flour versions which crumble at room temperature.
The versatility of Fitbakes wraps extends beyond lunch. By docking the wrap with a using a fork and then pre-baking it for 8 minutes, you can transform one into the size of a 10-inch Keto pizza base. You can then fill it up with 2g of carb Marinara and full fat mozzarella. The high protein content of 11g per wrap, which comes from wheat flour, a vital ingredient, and pea isolator, prevents dryness when toppings are wet. Cooks at home report crisp edges and a soft center indistinguishable from traditional dough, all at 6g net carbs for the whole pie.
Wrap the bacon, eggs and avocado in the wrap. After that, warm it in a dry pan. Roll tightly. The fiber network absorbs moisture and does not break down, making food that is portable and stays in place during your commute. Parents who create school lunches will appreciate the 14-month shelf time of the wrap and the fact that it can satisfy hunger for more than two pieces of cloud bread.
Long-term freshness and storage
Fitbakes packages each batch in nitrogen-flushed sleeves to prevent the flax oils’ oxidation. The wraps contain 38% moisture bound inside the lattice of psyllium fibers, preventing starch retrogradation which hardens low carb breads in a matter of hours. Wraps can be regenerated within 3 minutes by putting the wraps between sheets of parchment and then heating at 300 degF. They will keep their texture. This will stop the weekends of baking marathons that are common to keto breads made at home.
Fitbakes Wholegrain Wraps is the ideal bread for anyone who is managing PCOS or competing in bodybuilding. Wraps with low carbs aren’t compromises, they’re the new standard.
