Sourdough bread is one of the best carbohydrates out there on the market. Here are 4 reason why!
Easier to digest

Blood Sugar Control

More Nutritious
Sourdough bread contains higher levels of folate and antioxidants than other breads. When we consider that a loaf of bread one buys at the local grocery store contains close to 30 ingredients and sourdough contains 3, we know instinctively that properly made sourdough doesn't contain fillers or any other bad chemicals. This allows for the nutritional ingredients to be available to the human body.
