Sourdough bread offers several health benefits due to its unique fermentation process. It is known to improve gut health, as the fermentation can introduce prebiotic and probiotic properties that enhance digestion and support a healthy microbiome[1][4]. Additionally, sourdough has a lower glycemic index compared to conventional breads, leading to more stable blood sugar levels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals managing diabetes[5][6].
Sourdough also provides essential nutrients like folate, potassium, and magnesium, which are more easily absorbed due to the breakdown of anti-nutrients during fermentation[2][5]. Furthermore, it may be easier to digest for some individuals with gluten sensitivity, as the fermentation process slightly reduces gluten content[2][3][5].
