Summary
This sourdough bread is made with unbleached enriched flour, which is a processed ingredient, and contains added vitamins and minerals. The presence of a sour starter is beneficial as it enhances flavor and nutrient availability through fermentation. However, the product's processing level limits its score, and the use of enriched flour rather than whole grain flour affects its nutritional profile.
