Benefits of Sourdough

Sourdough Starter is a natural way of fermentation that enhances the taste and nutritional value of bread, making it the true healthy option in our food chain. It caters to the demands of those who prefer to consume bread made of natural ingredients without any additives, while also providing numerous health benefits. Sourdough has a variety of positive effects on our health and bread making process, some of which include:

 

Easy to Digest & Non-Bloating:

The bacteria and fungi in sourdough bread pre-digest the grains, leaving you with an easily digestible and healthy bread. If you're on a diet, even a slice of sourdough bread can be very beneficial for you and you won't feel bloated.

Does not Spike Blood Sugar Quickly:

The glycemic index of sourdough bread made with sourdough starter is lower compared to regular bread. It releases energy gradually and increasingly over a longer period of time, requiring less insulin. This effect helps to keep you feeling full for a longer period of time even if you consume a small amount, and it does not spike your blood sugar suddenly, thus assisting in regulating blood sugar levels.

Rich in Vitamins and Minerals:

Sourdough breads are highly nutritious, and are particularly rich in vitamin B12. Consuming sourdough bread can increase the amount of B12 vitamin in our body. It is especially helpful in reducing forgetfulness in the elderly.

Strengthens Immune System:

Sourdough bread's beta-glucan, which forms during the sourdough fermentation process, is not broken down during baking. Beta-glucan strengthens the immune system and helps prevent cancer.
