Sourdough is a traditional bread made from a fermented mixture of flour and water, known as a starter, which acts as the natural leavening agent. Popular in a variety of cuisines, its origins date back thousands of years and it remains a staple in many global diets. A slice of sourdough is typically lower in sugar than many other breads, and its fermentation process can improve digestibility and nutrient absorption. It contains carbohydrates, small amounts of protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like selenium and manganese. While sourdough is often perceived as healthier due to its simplicity and natural fermentation, it's still a source of refined carbs and should be consumed in moderation. For those sensitive to gluten, sourdough may be easier to digest, but it is not gluten-free. Pair it with healthy toppings like avocado or nut butter for a balanced meal option.
