White sourdough is a type of bread known for its tangy flavor and airy texture, achieved through natural fermentation. Made with simple ingredients—flour, water, salt, and a sourdough starter containing wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria—it is a traditional staple in many European cuisines, particularly French and Italian. Unlike commercially leavened bread, sourdough is easier to digest due to the fermentation process, which breaks down phytates and helps improve nutrient absorption. It’s a source of carbohydrates and provides small amounts of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and selenium. However, white sourdough contains less fiber than whole-grain varieties, making it less ideal for those seeking higher-fiber options. While its natural fermentation can benefit gut health, moderation is key, as it is calorie-dense and can contribute to high blood sugar levels if consumed excessively.
