White sourdough bread is a traditional European-style bread made using a fermented starter of flour and water combined with white flour, water, and salt. Unlike standard white bread, sourdough relies on natural fermentation rather than commercial yeast, giving it a distinct tangy flavor and chewy texture. Its slow fermentation process may enhance digestibility and create a lower glycemic index compared to other white breads. Additionally, sourdough often contains fewer additives and preservatives. While it provides some nutrients like iron, selenium, and B vitamins, it is less fiber-rich than whole-grain options. Though not inherently unhealthy, its lower fiber content and refined flour may make it less optimal for promoting sustained fullness and gut health. Sourdough is popular in artisanal baking and widely enjoyed in sandwiches or as a side dish, but moderation is key for those watching carbohydrate intake or prioritizing high-fiber diets.
