Pita bread is one of the oldest breads in the world, with origins in the Levant dating back nearly 10,000 years. Long before modern ovens or packaged snacks, flatbreads like pita were baked on hot stones and used as utensils—torn, dipped, and shared at the table.
Lebanese Inspired Snack
Growing up in a Lebanese household, pita bread was always at the center of our table. It scooped hummus, wrapped grilled meats, and brought people together around family-style plates. Because good bread was never wasted, leftover pita was often toasted or baked to give it new life—adding crunch to meals or serving as a base for dips.
That simple, practical habit is where pita chips come from. Pita chips themselves are a modern evolution, but they’re rooted in the same idea: taking real pita bread and baking it until crisp. As snack culture grew in the late 20th century, this kitchen tradition made its way onto store shelves.
Zesty Z: High Fiber Snacks
At Zesty Z, our pita chips are inspired by Lebanese family traditions and made the same way pita has always been respected—starting with real bread. We bake real pita bread twice to achieve the crunch and natural grill marks you’d expect from a home kitchen, not a factory shortcut.
What we’ve added is a modern update. By incorporating more fiber, we turned a traditional Lebanese-style pita chip into a fiber-forward snack that fits how people eat today. The result is a fiber chip that delivers crunch, satisfaction, and heritage in every bite.
For us, this isn’t about reinventing a 10,000-year-old food. It’s about honoring it—then thoughtfully evolving it for modern snacking.
