About Sour bread
Sour bread, often referred to as sourdough, is a type of bread made through a natural fermentation process using flour, water, and a starter culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Originating in ancient Egypt, sour bread has become a staple in many cuisines worldwide due to its tangy flavor and chewy texture. Unlike bread made with commercial yeast, sour bread undergoes slow fermentation, which improves digestibility and enhances its nutrient profile. The process breaks down phytic acid, making minerals like iron and magnesium more bioavailable. Sour bread is typically lower in glycemic index than other breads, making it a better option for regulating blood sugar levels. However, its nutritional value depends on the type of flour used; whole-grain varieties offer more fiber and nutrients than refined versions. While sour bread is generally healthy, moderation is key due to its carbohydrate content and potential salt levels.
