From blueberries to kimchi, Pita Jungle's new menu combines flavor and conscious eating
Arizona-based chain Pita Jungle has taken major steps to accommodate conscious eaters.
To start, they’ve added vegan and gluten-free menus featuring their signature dishes altered to meet these dietary restrictions.
Furthermore, their latest update on the Seasonal Kitchen Crafts menu features seven new dishes, three new sides, and seven new protein options, all based on “superfoods.” This particular menu will run through mid-September.
