Why We Use Young Kobras Gluten Free Sourdough Bread

If you're a fan of toast, you know that the bread you use can make all the difference in both taste and nutrition. At Raleigh Raw, we've chosen to use Young Kobras bread for our toasts because of its clean and wholesome ingredients. In this blog, we'll explore why this bread is a healthier choice compared to typical bread.

First and foremost, Young Kobras bread is made with a sourdough starter that's created with organic brown rice flour and water. This is important because conventional bread often uses commercial yeast, which can be loaded with preservatives and additives. Sourdough starter, on the other hand, is a natural way to leaven bread that's been used for centuries. It's made by fermenting flour and water, which results in a complex flavor profile and better digestion.

Young Kobras bread also includes a blend of organic sorghum flour, organic millet flour, and organic tapioca flour. These ingredients are gluten-free and rich in nutrients, fiber, and protein. Sorghum and millet are ancient grains that have been cultivated for thousands of years, while tapioca flour is a starchy, gluten-free flour that's commonly used as a thickener. Together, these ingredients give the bread a light and airy texture.

To further enhance the nutritional value of the bread, Young Kobras also includes organic psyllium husk and organic flax meal. Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber that can help to promote bowel regularity and lower cholesterol levels. Flax meal is high in omega-3 fatty acids and can help to regulate digestion.

Young Kobras bread is also made with organic olive oil, which is a healthier fat compared to other types of oil. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, which can help to lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. The bread is seasoned with sea salt, which is a natural source of minerals and can help to enhance the flavor of the bread without adding excess sodium.

Finally, Young Kobras bread is made with organic apple cider vinegar, which helps to activate the baking soda in the bread and give it a lighter texture. This ingredient may seem unusual in bread, but it serves an important purpose in making the bread taste and feel just right.

When you compare the ingredients in Young Kobras bread to those in typical bread, it's easy to see why we've chosen to use this bread for our toasts at Raleigh Raw. With organic, whole-food ingredients and traditional methods of fermentation, this bread offers a wide range of nutrients and health benefits. So the next time you order toast at Raleigh Raw, you can feel good knowing that you're enjoying a truly clean and nourishing bread.
