Sourdough has more nutrients and is easier to digest than bread made with baker’s yeast. Plus, it contains less gluten than other breads, and many with gluten sensitivities find they can still enjoy its distinctive delicious taste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-a102db72-7fff-e7c4-eee3-f044e7918573\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eOur sourdough starter comes in a pint jar containing nothing but organic hard red wheat flour, water, and the living plant bacteria that make it so special.

It’s much sweeter and makes a fluffy, beautifully textured bread, much like sandwich bread. Unlike most starters, which contain anaerobic bacteria and can be left on the counter, our starter contains aerobic bacteria which need to be refrigerated. None of this starter needs to be dumped out, and the “float test” isn’t accurate either; it will sink.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"\u003eProduct of the USA\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"\u003eKeep refrigerated\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"\u003eContains approx ½ cup of starter (jar not full to allow expansion)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-2e605b0a-7fff-2582-c2c2-453caf39cb05\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAzure Market products are re-packaged by Azure for your convenience in a facility that meets Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) standards, including an approved allergen control program.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e****The starter we are selling right now was started in May 2025.. ****\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eFor questions, email:\u003c\/strong\u003e  contactbreadforlife@gmail.com \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eCustomer Testimonials: \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFirst of all, I’m a convert.
