Sourdough bread is naturally slowly fermented, during that time a magical transformation takes place. The gluten is largely broken down so many people with gluten intolerance can eat slowly fermented sourdough with no digestive upset!
Sourdough benefits
- Gluten is broken down, so easier to digest
- Phytic acid is broken down releasing minerals for the body to absorb
- Made with only 3 ingredients, no dodgy additives and no pesticide residues if you use organic flour
- Has a lower GI so it keeps your blood sugar stable for longer
- Acidity keeps sourdough fresher so no need for preservatives
- It’s delicious and you can vary the level of sourness
- Its high in resistant starch so considered a prebiotic food, ie food for your gut bacteria!
