🍞 Benefits of Sourdough Bread

Sourdough isn’t just about flavor — it’s about function. The natural fermentation process helps break down starches and proteins, making sourdough easier to digest for many people. It can also support better nutrient absorption, thanks to reduced phytic acid during fermentation.

With its naturally rich flavor, satisfying texture, and often lower glycemic response, sourdough is a thoughtful choice for those seeking quality, tradition, and balance in their bread.

🥖 Real sourdough vs “sourdough” — how to spot the difference
The easiest way? Check the ingredient list.

Real sourdough is made with simple, honest ingredients — flour, water, salt, and a natural sourdough starter. No shortcuts. No additives.
At Menus by Maria, our sourdough is made using just:
• Organic unbleached flour
• Filtered water
• Sea salt
• Sourdough starter (made from water & flour)

If you see yeast, conditioners, sugars, or long ingredient lists — it’s not true sourdough. Simplicity is the standard.

🌾 Why is sourdough so popular?

Sourdough has stood the test of time thanks to its
naturally fermented process, rich flavor, and satisfying
texture. The long fermentation helps improve digestibility,
supports better nutrient absorption, and often results in a
lower glycemic response compared to conventional
bread.

Simple, traditional, and thoughtfully made — it’s no
surprise sourdough continues to be a favorite.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where consuming gluten triggers damage to the small intestine. For those diagnosed, choosing gluten-free foods isn’t a trend — it’s a medical necessity.

⚠️ Even small amounts of gluten can cause:
• Digestive distress
• Nutrient malabsorption
• Inflammation and long-term intestinal damage

That’s why a strict gluten-free diet is essential for managing celiac disease and supporting long-term health. At Menus by Maria, we’re committed to offering thoughtfully made gluten-free options you can trust — without compromise.

One of the secrets behind great gluten-free baking? The right binders 🤍

Ingredients like psyllium husk and xanthan gum help replace gluten’s natural structure — improving texture, elasticity, and moisture in every bite.
The result: baked goods that hold together beautifully, feel satisfying, and taste just as good as you expect.

Thoughtful ingredients make all the difference.
