A slice of sourdough bread is a hearty, tangy addition to your diet, made primarily from flour, water, and salt, with its distinct flavor and texture developed through natural fermentation using wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. Originating from ancient baking traditions, sourdough is a staple in European cuisines but enjoyed worldwide for its artisanal quality. It contains essential nutrients, including carbohydrates for energy, small amounts of protein, and minerals like selenium and magnesium. The fermentation process can enhance digestibility and support gut health by breaking down gluten and increasing the availability of nutrients. While sourdough tends to have a lower glycemic index compared to other breads, it still contains calories and carbs, so moderation is key for those monitoring blood sugar or calorie intake. With its rich flavor and rustic appeal, sourdough bread is a wholesome option when balanced with a varied diet.
