Sourdough bread is a traditional yeast-leavened bread made from flour, water, and salt, with fermentation driven by naturally occurring wild yeast and bacteria in a starter culture. Originating thousands of years ago, sourdough is a staple in many cuisines, particularly European, and is prized for its tangy flavor, chewy texture, and crispy crust. Unlike breads made with commercial yeast, sourdough undergoes a natural fermentation process that may improve digestibility and contribute to better nutrient absorption. It contains complex carbohydrates, small amounts of protein, and minerals like potassium and magnesium, while typically being low in fat. Sourdough may have a lower glycemic index compared to other bread types, which can support balanced blood sugar levels. However, it can still be high in calories and sodium, depending on preparation and portion size. Moderation is key to enjoying sourdough as part of a balanced diet.
