Sourdough is a type of bread made through a natural fermentation process involving flour, water, and wild yeast along with lactic acid bacteria. Originating from ancient civilizations, sourdough is closely associated with European cuisines, particularly in countries like France and Italy. Unlike breads made with commercial yeast, sourdough undergoes a slower fermentation that enhances its flavor and texture while reducing phytic acid, which can improve mineral absorption. It’s rich in beneficial probiotics if consumed fresh and provides essential nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and manganese. Sourdough has a lower glycemic index compared to some other breads, making it a healthier choice for maintaining blood sugar levels. However, it’s still a carbohydrate-heavy food, so portion control is essential. The natural fermentation also makes it easier to digest for some individuals, particularly those sensitive to gluten.
