WHY SOURDOUGH BREAD IS HEALTHIER THAN REGULAR BREAD

While everything should be enjoyed in moderation, sourdough is the bread you can feel good about eating. Because it goes through a unique natural fermentation process using wild Lactobacillaceae and yeast, it increases its nutritional profile making it easier to digest than most loaves of bread.

How is sourdough bread healthier and different from other breeds?

🥖The ingredients list for sourdough is shorter than most loaves of bread.

🥖improves gut health, and some studies have shown fermentation alters the structure of carbohydrates in the dough for better blood sugar control and lower score on the glycemic index.

🥖Fructans, a carbohydrate found in wheat, cause digestive issues similar to gluten intolerances. However, the fermentation in SD breaks down fructans, making it easier on the digestive system.

🥖Phytic acid, known to cause digestive issues, is primarily found in wheat products that are neutralized by SD stater, making nutrient absorption easier.

🥖Prebiotics and probiotics like benefits. Prebiotics are the indigestible fiber that feeds the good bacteria called probiotics. SD has been shown to increase vitamin and mineral absorption in these bacteria.
