Sourdough bread is a traditional loaf originating from ancient cultures, most notably European cuisines. It’s made using a mixture of flour, water, and salt, and leavened naturally with a fermented sourdough starter, which contains live beneficial yeast and bacteria. This process gives sourdough its distinct tangy flavor and chewy texture. Known for being easier to digest than some other breads, sourdough retains nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Fermentation breaks down gluten, which may make it a suitable option for those sensitive to gluten (though not for those with celiac disease). It also has a low glycemic index, promoting steadier blood sugar levels. While sourdough is nutrient-rich and more natural due to minimal additives, it can still be high in carbohydrates and sodium. Enjoying it in moderation can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
