| The Benefits of Sourdough
The onset of COVID drove many folks into their homes with a sudden amount of time on their hands. The art of creating a sourdough starter and baking one’s own bread began to rise (no pun intended) substantially.
And while it was fun at the time, it became difficult to manage a starter and keep a baking schedule, despite craving that tangy flavor and chewy crumb.
DID YOU KNOW?
There are surprising benefits to eating sourdough bread!
- Richer in nutrients.
- Less likely to spike blood pressure.
- Less gluten
- Contains a higher level of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals.
- Easier to digest.
- Beneficial to gut health, given its lactic acid bacteria, thanks to its fermentation process.
And according to Healthline magazine, “Buying sourdough bread from an artisan baker at farmers markets increases the likelihood of it being “true” sourdough bread” vs conventional grocery store styles made with enhanced starters and processed flours.
