My name is Alexis, my husband and I own Downtown Merchants 👩🎨 and Sourdough Co. Cafe in Bluefield, WV. I love making bread without the chemicals for my peers! We’ve been serving our community since 2022. ✨
Sourdough bread is considered healthier than other breads because its fermentation process breaks down complex carbohydrates, making it easier to digest, potentially lowering its glycemic index, and increasing the availability of certain nutrients like vitamins and minerals while also reducing the amount of phytic acid which can hinder nutrient absorption; this process also introduces beneficial bacteria that can support gut health.
