Why is it that many people can happily munch on tasty sourdough bread without any side effects but get seriously bloated after eating other bread types?
The answer is in the sourdough.
Rather than using commercial bakers yeast, sourdough culture is used as the raising agent for the bread. Sourdough culture has the super cool ability to reduce phytic acid, which is a common gut irritant in most bread. By reducing the phytic acid, valuable minerals held in the grain are also released. Without phytic acid or baker’s yeast, sourdough is both a tasty and healthful alternative for those with or without sensitivities.
Using all certified organic ingredients, Bill’s Organics Bakery allows its bread rise naturally during an extended fermentation period of 18 hours. This enables the development of beneficial lactic acid-producing bacteria that are also found in numerous other fermented foods. The resulting bread is full of flavour, nutrient dense, easier to digest and has a lower PH than it’s conventional counterparts.
Bill’s naturally leavened sourdough breads are also made from organic stoneground grains. The purpose of this older, slower method of milling grains is to retain the maximum nutrients available in the resulting flour. Stoneground flour is also easily assimilated by the body making it highly recommended by health professionals.
The care that Bill’s takes in creating their certified organic sourdough breads is evident in the sweet, tart flavour of the sourdough and dense texture of the bread.
