Do you like bread?
I know… that is probably a silly question. Almost every person I’ve ever met in my life is obsessed with bread. And what is there not to love? It is a perfect vessel for all delicious foods. Many countries use bread instead of a fork or spoon. You can dip it, soak it, stuff it, sandwich it… the possibilites are literally endless.
Unfortunately, we live in a time where many people must watch what they consume, and sometimes even cut items out all together! And you guessed it, bread is at the top of this list.
But is all bread bad? Maybe it’s the gluten, or the pesticides sprayed on the ingredients before it’s made? It seems no one really has a clear answer. One thing I know for sure… the fancy, organic, gluten free type of breads they sell at the grocery stores are EXPENSIVE! Not only that, but they typically have a lot of highly processed ingredients that our body can have a hard time recognizing, and therefore breaking down. So in reality… they aren’t really healthy at all!
When it comes to considering anything “healthy”, it is important to remember that simpler is better. It seems our ancestors knew a lot about food and nutrition… much more than we currently practice ourselves. Back then, the pre-made bread we see today was not a thing, and every person typically made their own bread. In fact, during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s, miners and pioneers relied on sourdough bread as a staple food because it was easy and a long-lasting source of nourishment. They would even carry a sourdough starter with them, which was used to make this famous, nutritious, and delicious bread.
Cut to the late 1800’s. Commercial yeast began to be produced, which made it easier to make bread quickly and consistently. This led to big food companies pumping out premade loaves of bread, that had zero natural health benefits, but could sit on shelves, and save people the time of making their own at home. The popularity of sourdough bread declined, and most recipes are now held by the Grandma’s and Great Grandma’s of our generation.
Sourdough bread is considered a healthier option than bread made with commercial yeast, as the fermentation process breaks down the gluten and makes it easier to digest. Sourdough bread is also known for its unique taste and texture, which is a result of the fermentation process.
So what exactly is the fermentation process?
This happens when microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria convert carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, into alcohol or organic acids. This process can occur naturally or can be induced by the addition of specific microorganisms.
In the case of sourdough bread, the fermentation process is carried out by wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria that are naturally present in flour. The starter is made by mixing flour and water and allowing it to sit for several days. During this time, the wild yeast and bacteria naturally present in the flour will begin to ferment the sugars in the flour, producing lactic acid and alcohol. This mixture, known as a sourdough starter, can then be used to ferment dough for bread.
During the fermentation process, the yeast and bacteria consume sugars in the dough and produce carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise. The lactic acid produced by the bacteria gives sourdough bread its characteristic tangy flavor.
Fermentation can also be used to preserve food by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.
This is a dream come true for my fellow gardeners! For example, fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi are preserved through lactic acid fermentation. Similarly, fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir are made by fermenting milk with specific strains of bacteria.
Fermentation can also be used to produce alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits. In these cases, yeast is used to ferment sugars present in ingredients such as grains, fruits, and vegetables to produce alcohol.
While there are many types of fermented foods, all have big health benefits that are necessary for a healthy gut and digestive track.
When you consume fermented foods consistently, you will start to experience:
- Improved digestion: Fermented foods contain probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help to improve the balance of microorganisms in the gut and promote regular bowel movements.
- Boosted immunity: Probiotics can also help to boost the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies and white blood cells.
- Reduced inflammation: Some studies have shown that probiotics can help to reduce inflammation in the body, which is linked to a variety of chronic diseases and pain in the body.
- Better nutrient absorption: Fermentation can make certain nutrients in food more easily absorbed by the body. For example, fermentation increases the amount of bioavailable B vitamins in food.
- Mental health benefits: Consuming fermented foods may help to improve mental health. Studies have found that probiotics can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Your gut, brain, sleep, stress levels, and immunity ALL depend on probiotics in your body to thrive!
