Sourdough bread is a traditional, artisanal bread known for its tangy flavor and chewy texture. Originating from ancient Egypt and later popularized in European and American cuisines, it is made using a natural fermentation process that combines flour, water, and wild yeast and bacteria from a starter culture. Unlike breads that rely on commercial yeast, sourdough develops slowly, enhancing digestibility and flavor. Nutritionally, sourdough is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals, including selenium and iron. Its fermentation process can increase bioavailability of nutrients and make it gentler on the digestive system for some individuals. However, as a bread product, it contains gluten and can be higher in sodium depending on the recipe. Moderation is key to enjoying its benefits while keeping portions balanced within a healthy diet.
