About Half a slice of sourdough bread
Half a slice of sourdough bread offers a glimpse into the classic tradition of fermented baking, originating from ancient Egyptian cuisine and embraced globally for its unique tangy flavor. Made using flour, water, salt, and naturally occurring wild yeast, sourdough stands apart for its natural fermentation process, which may aid digestion and improve nutrient absorption. Half a slice typically contains around 50-70 calories, with small amounts of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. It is lower in sugar compared to some commercial breads, but the sodium content can vary based on preparation. Sourdough’s slower fermentation results in a lower glycemic index, making it appealing for those managing blood sugar levels. While nutritious, it provides minimal vitamins and minerals, and portion control is key to balancing bread intake within a healthy diet. Simple yet versatile, sourdough embodies both heritage and health in every bite.
