8 Reasons Why Everyone Should Be Eating Sourdough Bread + How to Make a Sourdough Starter

besides the fact that it's the best bread on the planet

Like many of you, I grew up in the Atkins Diet Era, where I was told not to eat carbs because they are “bad for you" and "bread will make you fat."

Blah Blah Blah.

The truth is, bread is not the enemy. The type of bread that most of us are eating is.

People have been eating bread for 5,000+ years, and now, all of a sudden people are having issues digesting it or are told not to eat it at all. This is because most of the food we find at the grocery store, including bread, has been processed. When you really think about it, we didn't start having health issues like Celiac Disease until food became industrialized.

So, while most of us continue hearing reason upon reason why bread is bad for us, I am here to point out 8 reasons why sourdough bread is a great component to your pantry. By using a very special starter - containing wild yeast and bacteria, the positives of eating sourdough far outweigh the negatives you may see in the media.

Here are my Top 7 Reasons Why:

1. GOOD FOR YOUR GUT: the fermentation process for sourdough can lead to more pre and probiotic-like properties, which aid in gut health.

2. EASIER TO DIGEST: the bacteria-yeast composition will start to break down the starches found in the grains before it reaches your stomach! How cool is that?! This means, there is way less work to be done, making it much easier to digest.
