About Sourdoug

Sourdough is a traditional bread made from a fermented mixture of flour and water, known as a sourdough starter, which uses wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria for natural leavening. This bread dates back to ancient Egypt and is widely cherished in European and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its tangy flavor and chewy texture set it apart from other breads. Sourdough is rich in probiotics, which can aid digestion, and its long fermentation process may make nutrients in the bread more bioavailable. It also has a lower glycemic index compared to many other breads, making it a better option for blood sugar management. However, like other breads, it is calorie-dense and contains carbohydrates, so portion control is key. When made with whole-grain flours, it provides additional fiber, protein, and nutrients. Always check for minimal added sugars or fats in store-bought versions for optimal health benefits.
