Choose real sourdough made with long fermentation (not the store-bought “sourdough” with artificial sourdough flavoring. If the ingredient list includes ‘yeast,’ that is not true sourdough!)
Seek out heritage wheat varieties when possible
Choose organic flour, or know where your flour comes from to avoid pre-harvest desiccation (a glyphosate bath!)
Avoid enriched flour with synthetic additives
Read ingredient lists carefully to avoid hidden seed oils and preservatives
Support small-scale bakers using traditional techniques and high-quality flour
For those who truly cannot tolerate wheat, carefully selected gluten-free options may be appropriate — but even then, ingredient quality matters tremendously. Always make sure to read ingredient lists to avoid hidden gums, preservatives, and seed oils!
