About Masa madre
Masa Madre, often referred to as sourdough starter, is a mix of flour and water that has been naturally fermented with wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. Originating from ancient bread-making traditions, its roots trace back to Egypt but it is commonly associated with European and Latin American cuisine. This live culture serves as the base for sourdough bread and other baked goods, imparting a tangy flavor and airy texture. Nutritionally, Masa Madre contributes healthy probiotics that support gut health, along with slower-digesting carbohydrates that help maintain steady energy levels. Bread made with Masa Madre tends to have lower glycemic impact and higher nutrient availability due to the fermentation process. However, its exact health benefits depend on the flour used and portion size. While it retains caloric content typical of bread, its natural fermentation process makes it a cleaner, easily digestible choice for artisanal baking.
