Organic Wholegrain Einkorn Sourdough
We are a local, family, cottage Bakery started by a Certified Nutrition Coach with a passion for delicious and nutritious food.
We mill all of our own 100% wholemeal flour from responsibly sourced and Organically grown ancient grains.
We naturally leaven our sourdough products. The natural, airborne yeasts in our sourdough pre-digest the proteins and starches in grains. This process creates the bubbles which make the bread rise.
The fermentation process breaks down the sugars and starches giving sourdough a lower carbohydrate content, which can help with regulating blood glucose levels.
Fermented breads contain natural mold inhibitors that support a longer shelf life. They also contain phytase which neutralizes phytic acid and increases the bioavailability of nutrients.
Einkorn is the most primitive form of wheat available originating in the Fertile Crescent with its cultivation dating back over 10,000 years. It is high in protein and fibre yet low in starch. It is a diploid wheat containing only 14 chromosomes compared to modern and Heirloom wheats which contain 42. Eincorn does not have the DD chromosome which has been linked to gluten sensitivities.
*Einkorn is not recommended for people with Celiac Disease.
Teff is a resilient, drought-tolerant pseudo-grain native to Ethiopia and Eritrea. Its cultivation dates back over 6000 years. Teff is a gluten-free grain high in protein and fibre.
