Does Sourdough Bread Have Probiotics?<\/h2>\n

Technically, sourdough bread does begin with probiotics that are present during the fermentation process. The fermentation process also helps break down phytic acid<\/a>, making it easier for you to digest as this is what the starter is pretty much made out of. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, during the baking process, the good bacteria die off due to exposure to high temperatures. Though fully baked, sourdough bread contains no probiotics<\/strong>. But it still contains a good nutritional content of vitamins and minerals, which are very beneficial for your gut, making it easier to digest. Thus, this is why it is always held in such high regard. <\/p>\n
