Wheat sourdough bread is a rustic, fermented bread made from whole wheat flour, water, salt, and a natural sourdough starter. Originating from ancient bread-making traditions, sourdough is believed to have roots in Egyptian and European cuisines and is prized for its tangy flavor, chewy texture, and nutrient-rich profile. The fermentation process enhances digestibility by breaking down gluten and releasing beneficial probiotics, making it gentler on the gut compared to conventional breads. Whole wheat flour adds fiber, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and iron, supporting heart health and sustained energy. However, it is still a carbohydrate-rich food and moderation is key for those managing sugar intake or calorie counts. Free from artificial preservatives, sourdough offers a healthier alternative to processed breads while embracing simplicity and tradition in its ingredients.
