Living Dough – Live Sourdough Starter Culture – Soviet Rye Sourdough Starter Culture

Description

Sourdough rye bread starter culture is a staple in Russian cuisine with a rich history. During the Russian-Turkish War of 1736 Russian troops nearly faced defeat when their supply of sourdough rye bread was cut off forcing them to eat unleavened wheat bread instead. Rye a hardy grain thrives in harsh conditions making it widely available in Russia and Scandinavia for centuries. Unlike regular wheat rye hasn’t been genetically altered or treated with glyphosate making it a great addition to your diet if you’re not avoiding grains. Sourdough rye bread also offers health benefits. Its fermentation process significantly reduces the phytic acid content which can block mineral absorption in the body. Even a short fermentation lowers phytic acid levels and oven baking reduces it to just 15% of its original amount-much more than in other grains.
