About One slice of sourdough bread

One slice of sourdough bread is a tangy, chewy staple known for its unique flavor and artisanal appeal. This bread is made from basic ingredients: flour, water, salt, and a natural fermentation starter of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Originating from ancient Egypt and popularized globally, sourdough has a rich culinary tradition, especially in European and American cuisines. Nutritionally, one slice typically contains around 80–100 calories, depending on its size, with moderate amounts of carbohydrates and a small amount of protein and fiber. The fermentation process enhances digestibility and may improve nutrient absorption, while its lower glycemic index compared to other breads can support steady blood sugar levels. However, sourdough can still be high in sodium and lacks significant micronutrient density. Enjoy it as a flavorful, balanced addition to meals while pairing with nutrient-rich toppings for optimal benefits.
