Sliced sourdough is a type of artisanal bread known for its tangy flavor and chewy texture, originating from ancient European baking traditions. It’s made using a simple combination of flour, water, and salt, fermented with a natural starter of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. This fermentation process not only gives sourdough its signature taste but also enhances its digestibility, as the bacteria help break down gluten and improve nutrient absorption. Rich in complex carbohydrates, it's a source of sustained energy and fiber. However, nutritional profiles can vary—while sourdough contains less sugar and additives compared to many commercial breads, its calorie content should be monitored depending on portion size. Ideal for sandwiches or as a side to soups, sliced sourdough offers a wholesome and flavorful option rooted in traditional baking methods that prioritize simplicity and natural ingredients.
