Description

Indulge in the crème-de-la-crème of baked goods—Sourdough! Not only does it tantalize the taste buds, but it also packs a punch of nutrients, making it the ultimate choice for health-conscious bakers. Our naturally fermented South African Sourdough Starter Culture is your ticket to artisanal creations right in your kitchen. From bread to bagels, pancakes to croissants, this starter culture empowers you to craft a diverse array of mouthwatering delights with ease.

Features:
- Pure and Natural: No artificial additives or preservatives are added to our sourdough starter culture, ensuring you work with only the finest ingredients for your baked goods.
- Nutrient-Dense: Compared to conventional bread, sourdough offers a lower glycemic index and enhanced nutrient accessibility, thanks to the fermentation process. Lactobacillus bacteria present in sourdough produce enzymes like phytase, breaking down phytic acid and improving nutrient absorption.
- Beneficial Bacteria: Lactobacillus bacteria present in sourdough produce enzymes that break down phytic acid, making the bread easier to digest and enhancing nutrient absorption.
- Rich in Nutrients: Unlock a treasure trove of essential vitamins and minerals in your sourdough creations. Iron, manganese, calcium, B vitamins, folate, zinc, potassium, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin E—all packed into your homemade sourdough.
