This nutrient-rich mixture is not only versatile in the kitchen but also contains probiotics, which can aid digestion. While it does have some carbohydrates, it’s lower than many commercial breads. Don’t throw it away—transform it into delicious pancakes, crackers, or even pizza crusts, turning waste into culinary treasures!
