NYC Freekeh Harvest� Baked Pita Chips, A Chip with a Unique History, Debuts at NYC Fancy Food Show

“There are a lot of different pita chips and I feel that these are distinct …these are different.” Fox2 Detroit

NEW YORK CITY, June 14 – Introducing a truly unique product to the American snack-food industry is a rare event. Freekeh (“free-kah”) Harvest® Baked Pita Chips are just that -- completely new.

In her many world travels, Leslie Touma, a former Metro Detroit auto executive, noticed how much freekeh, a slow-roasted Mediterranean supergrain, was a staple of the Mediterranean diet. She decided to bring freekeh to America in the form of a delicious, protein-rich pita chip, perfect for healthy snacking on-the go. 

Along with her team, including Michelin-starred Chef Michael Fusano who developed the recipe for the chips’ nutty and complex flavor, Touma created Freekeh Harvest® Baked Pita Chips, a revolutionary new snack product.

Snacking nutritiously and deliciously was the driver behind the development of Freekeh Harvest® Baked Pita Chips, which deliver a wonderful roasted, smokey taste and nutritional powerhouse in every serving. The chips provide three times more protein and fiber and up to 50% less fat than other pita chips. They are Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan, contain no artificial colors or flavors and have no cholesterol or transfat.

They are the healthiest pita chip on the market and Freekeh Harvest® is the only company in the United States using the freekeh grain in a snack food.

Indulge in both Freekeh Harvest® pita chip seasonings- Sea Salt and Everything for the perfect high-protein, delicious snack!
