Introduction
I’m a flatbread fanatic. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I sometimes wish it would fit better in a martini glass so I could have it with friends at a happy hour more often.
However, because my love of flatbread is well established among my close friends and family, no one is shocked when they see me eating more of it than is perhaps socially acceptable. And once you learn about all its benefits (and the ways you can sneak it into your diet), you’ll also be a fan of flatbread.
It’s got fiber
Flatbread is a good source of fiber, which can help keep your digestive system healthy and your appetite satisfied. In addition, fiber helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, essential factors in managing type 2 diabetes. A high-fiber diet also supports weight loss by keeping you feeling full longer. Enjoying more flatbread in your diet is easy—top it with hummus or avocado for extra fiber!
It’s a good source of protein.
Flatbread is a simple food that has been around for centuries. Flatbread is made from flour, water, yeast, and salt. Flour is a good source of protein because it contains plenty of wheat. Wheat is an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates, iron, and B vitamins.
Flatbread can be used as a substitute for meat in many recipes, including pizzas and pasta! Also, try using flatbread instead of tortillas or naan bread when making tacos or burritos!
Low in Calorie
Flatbread is low in calories, which means it’s an excellent option for people trying to lose weight. Previously, when I tried to lose weight by cutting down on bread and pasta, I gave up on flatbread because it was the first thing that went through my mind when I thought of those items. But now that I’ve discovered how low-calorie flatbread can be, there’s no turning back!
The good news is that flatbread also has plenty of other benefits. For one thing, it’s an excellent source of protein: just one serving contains 6 grams per 100 grams (about three pieces). And because each serving has about 3–4 grams of fiber per 100 grams (around two parts), flatbread will help keep your digestive system running smoothly, so you stay regular despite having less meat than usual in your diet!
Excellent Source of Key Nutrients In-Take
- Fiber. Flatbread is an excellent source of fiber. It offers 5 grams per serving, more than half the recommended daily intake (RDI) for adults.
- Protein. High-fiber foods like flatbread are also good sources of protein and amino acids—the building blocks for muscle tissue, which helps you stay strong throughout the day.
- * Iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium are all essential to our health.* Zinc helps with growth and development in children.* Copper supports immunity, brain function, and red blood cell production.* Vitamin B6 helps keep homocysteine levels low—a risk factor for heart disease or stroke.*
It’s versatile
Flatbread is a great way to use leftovers, vegetables, and fruit. The reason why it’s so good for this purpose because you can use the bread in many different ways. So if you have some turkey leftover from Thanksgiving, throw it on flatbread with some avocado and tomato slices.
If you have too many green beans from that one time you tried to be healthy, make a vegetable flatbread with them! You can even get fancy and top your flatbread with herbs or spices like garlic or curry powder. The possibilities are endless!
Feel Less Hungry
Flatbread is an excellent source of fiber, which helps you feel fuller for longer. Fiber is an essential nutrient that your body cannot digest, so it passes through you and keeps you feeling full. This means flatbread is a great way to help keep hunger at bay and help prevent overeating later on in the day!
It’s easy to make
Making flatbread is easy! You can make it in a few minutes and don’t need fancy equipment. The only things that might be useful are a cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet or a pizza stone if you want to go all out. Flatbread is also easy to customize by adding ingredients like onions and garlic, which add flavor to your meal.
Make flatbread at home by combining flour, yeast, and water.
Making your own is pretty easy if you can’t find flatbread at the store or don’t want to spend money on it. First, combine 1 cup flour with ½ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons sugar (or honey) in a bowl. Next, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and ¼ cup warm water to the bowl and mix everything until it forms a ball.
Let this mixture sit for about an hour to rise slightly before cooking it on a pan over medium heat for 10 minutes per side. Add toppings like herbs or cheese if desired!
Conclusion
Flatbreads are a versatile, easy, and quick way to get some good nutrients. The best part is that they don’t require much fancy equipment or skill, so you can make the most of this food without having to go far from home. Make flatbread at home by combining flour, yeast, and water: then add seasonings as desired for taste. This will help you avoid overpriced commercial products and preservatives that may have been added during processing time before sale.
