Sourdough, a fermented food that takes longer to ferment than regular bread made with commercial yeast, is a nutritional powerhouse that puts standard sliced loaves to shame. The longer fermentation process helps grow beneficial bacteria, called probiotics, which support digestion and the immune system. While it remains unsafe for individuals with Celiac disease due to the presence of wheat, those with mild gluten sensitivities often report feeling better after eating sourdough compared to conventional bread. The breakdown of gluten during fermentation can make sourdou a viable option for those who usually feel sluggish after eating sandwiches or toast. Eating whole wheat flour in sourdoug form delivers a higher nutritional payload than eating it in a standard yeast loaf.
