Wholemeal sourdough is a nutritious and flavorful bread made from whole grain flour, water, salt, and a natural sourdough starter. Originating from ancient breadmaking traditions, sourdough is closely associated with European cuisines, particularly in regions like France and Italy, where artisanal methods are celebrated. The fermentation process improves digestibility and yields a tangy flavor while reducing phytic acid, enhancing the absorption of nutrients like iron and magnesium. Being made with wholemeal flour, this bread retains the bran and germ of the grain, providing more fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to refined versions. Its slower carbohydrate digestion due to fermentation may contribute to steadier blood sugar levels. However, it is still a source of carbohydrates and calories, so portion control is recommended for those managing weight or blood sugar. Wholemeal sourdough is a wholesome choice for heart-healthy meals, offering a balance of taste and nutritional benefits.
