3 Reasons to Eat Bread Made with a Sourdough Starter aka mother, leaven, or wild yeast:
- Starter makes bread more easily digestible since it begins the breakdown of gluten proteins and amplifies the lactic acid in the dough, which makes the bread more easily digestible and recognized by our bodies.
- Starter amplifies nutrition and flavor profile immensely. It is made up of dozens of types of bacteria, primarily lactobacillus. This particular bacteria lines our digestive tracts, so when you eat sourdough bread you are making your stomach and digestion work in the most natural way.
- Starter converts the phytic acid naturally occurring in the grain to lactic acid with the help of fermentation, thereby making the bread healthier and vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein more bioavailable to our systems.
Sourdough Starter
*Our Sourdough Starter is available for pick up only.*
You can pickup anytime between 4 and 8pm on Wednesdays. Your Starter will be on the brown book shelf in the waiting area or out on the porch of Sourland Wellness (located in Hopewell, New Jersey) next to Nomad Pizza in the big yellow house. It will be in a brown bag with your name on it. Orders must be in before Monday at 5pm each week to be ready for that Wednesday pick up. If you placed your order after 5pm on Monday, your designated pickup date will be the following Wednesday. Any issues, reach me at (609)793-9981.
If you aren’t in the Hopewell area, you can order dried starter and I will ship it to you here.
