Why Sourdough? ↓
While many think of sourdough as a flavor, it is actually a method for making bread and other baked goods rise. Most breads labeled "sourdough" in the United States are actually yeasted breads with lactic acid added for flavor. Real sourdough products made via the traditional method can be sweet, savory, mild, or tangy.
The story of sourdough is ancient. For thousands of years, people have been using the sourdough method to create healthy bread, a vital staple that has nourished civilizations. All of our leavened products start with this traditional method, harnessing the power of a living ecosystem of wild yeasts and bacteria to bring our products to life.
There are many benefits of baking with sourdough. Through sourdough's slow fermentation process, wild yeasts and bacteria feed on the starch found in the flour. This results in a bread with a lower glycemic index compared to yeasted breads. Additionally, the same process breaks down gluten and increases digestibility and the absorption of nutrients.
