Bake your own delicious whole wheat sourdough bread with this amazing starter from Cultures For Health. This Flemish-style sourdough starter comes with a single packet of dehydrated whole wheat sourdough culture; don't worry though, it's an heirloom culture, so you can keep it going and make as many batches of tasty whole wheat bread fresh from the oven as you want!

With an essentially limitless supply, you can get creative-try making whole wheat tortilla, pizza crust, garlic bread, bagels, noodles, waffles, and more. Sourdough starters contain probiotics that help process the flour, making the bread easier to digest; plus, the finished product contains prebiotics that aid digestion from the opposite side, so eating sourdough helps promote good gut health.

It must be prepared correctly to continue making more, but fortunately, sourdough starters are some of the most forgiving cultures to work with, making them perfect for beginners. It takes about a week to activate your starter, but it will be ready to bake just 4 hours after the final feeding.

Simply reserve about 1/4 cup to maintain starter. For great-tasting treats with gut-healthy probiotics, Cultures For Health is here to get you started.
