What it is
This is a loaf of bread made using a sourdough fermentation process. Sourdough relies on wild yeast and bacteria to leaven the dough, creating a distinctive tangy flavor and chewy texture. This particular loaf has been formulated to contain less sodium than many other commercially available breads. It is a plant-based product, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients.
