Global Sourdough Market 2023

Description Sourdough is a natural leavening ingredient consisting of flour and water. Also known as a bread starter, sourdough plays a vital role in providing structure and taste to baked products. The microorganisms present within the sourdough, including wild yeasts and lactic bacteria, utilize the starch and minerals found in flour to ferment and increase the volume of bread. As a result of this fermentation process, organic molecules are produced, creating the distinct flavors associated with sourdough.
