Sourdough bread is a type of artisan bread known for its tangy flavor and chewy texture, made using a natural fermentation process. Its basic ingredients include flour, water, and salt, along with a wild yeast-based starter that provides its signature taste and structure. Originating from ancient Egypt and later popularized in European cuisine, sourdough has become a staple in many cultures worldwide. Nutritionally, sourdough is a healthy choice for many, as the fermentation process makes it easier to digest and may improve nutrient absorption. It is lower in sugar than most commercially leavened breads and often contains no added preservatives. However, its carbohydrate content remains similar to other breads, so portion control is important for those monitoring their caloric intake. Whether toasted, used for sandwiches, or enjoyed on its own, sourdough is a versatile bread with both traditional heritage and modern appeal.
