Every week I spend 24 hours crafting Reiki sourdough for yoga & sound sessions that Amy Pramuk and I host at a local park. Baking this for our community is my favorite weekly ritual ๐ง๐
Most people think sourdough is just about the tang. But the 24-hour process is actually a ritual of care. By letting it ferment, its doing the work to break down the heavy proteins and release the nutrients so your gut don't have to work as hard. Itโs not just breadโitโs kindness for your digestion.
Phytic Acid Breakdown | Long fermentation activates enzymes that break down phytic acidโan "anti-nutrient" that blocks mineral absorptionโmaking iron, zinc, and magnesium bio-available for your body. |
| "Pre-digestion" | The lactobacilli and yeast work for 24 hours to break down complex gluten proteins and starches before you even eat the bread, making it significantly gentler on your digestion. |
| Blood Sugar Support | The acetic acid produced during the long ferment lowers the overall glycemic index, helping you avoid the rapid blood sugar spikes common with standard commercial bread. |
