A genuinely clean, short-ingredient sourdough: just flour, water, rye, salt and a fermented culture with no added sugar, oil, emulsifiers or preservatives. It loses points only for being refined white flour rather than whole grain.

Why this verdict

• Short, clean list — 5 real ingredients, no additives
• No added sugar, refined oil, emulsifiers or preservatives
• Slow sourdough fermentation, no dough conditioners
• Refined white flour: lower fibre, quicker blood-sugar hit than whole grain

Ingredients (5)

• Wheat flour (fortified) (moderate) — Refined white flour is the dominant ingredient; fortified with calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin but stripped of the bran and germ of the whole grain.
• Water (safe) — Added back as a filler/texture agent; harmless but dilutes.
• Rye Flour (moderate) — A small amount of refined flour for texture; contains gluten.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
• fermented wheat flour (safe) — The real sourdough component; fermentation can improve digestibility and lowers the glycaemic hit slightly.
