Let’s talk about the benefits of sourdough.

Lactic acid bacteria strains are considered probiotics as well, which may improve gastrointestinal health.
Sourdough also contains prebiotics which may reduce the risk of blood sugar spikes.
Sourdough is nutrient dense, meaning it contains healthy carbs, protein, fiber, iron, and vitamins. It is also rich in zinc and magnesium.
