Fiber content
A 1 medium pita serving of bread, pita, wheat or cracked wheat contains 3.5 g of dietary fiber - a moderate source of fiber, about 13% of a 28 g daily target.
Total fiber is measured. The split between soluble and insoluble is a category-based estimate, so read it for the shape of the food rather than the decimal.

Bread, Pita, Wheat or Cracked Wheat delivers 3.5 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 medium pita serving, which makes it a moderate source of fiber. That covers roughly 13% of a 28 gram daily reference intake, so it adds gently toward your fiber goal for the day.
Of that total, an estimated 0.6 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and an estimated 2.9 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
