Homemade sourdough is a traditional bread made from a simple mixture of flour, water, and salt, fermented with natural wild yeast and bacteria. Originating from ancient civilizations, sourdough has been a staple in European cuisines and has gained popularity worldwide for its distinct tangy flavor and chewy texture. The fermentation process enhances digestibility and may improve nutrient absorption by breaking down phytic acid in the grains. Sourdough is often lower on the glycemic index compared to other breads, making it a favorable option for blood sugar management. Additionally, its naturally leavened method avoids the use of commercial yeast and preservatives. While sourdough can be a healthy choice, its exact nutritional profile depends on the type of flour used, with whole-grain varieties offering more fiber and nutrients. Moderation is key, as it still contains carbohydrates and sodium typical of most breads.
