Whole sourdough bread is a nutritious, handcrafted bread made from whole grain flour, water, and natural sourdough starter, which ferments the dough. Originating from ancient baking traditions, sourdough is popular in various cuisines, including European artisan baking. Its tangy flavor and chewy texture come from the fermentation process, which enhances digestibility and creates a distinctive taste. Whole grain sourdough is rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering sustained energy and supporting gut health. The lactic acid bacteria in the starter help reduce the bread’s glycemic index, providing a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream. Unlike bread made with refined flour, whole sourdough contains bran and germ, making it a more wholesome choice. However, its sodium content may be higher due to added salt for flavor. Enjoy in moderation as part of a balanced diet for a heartier, healthier alternative to standard white bread.
