No.1 Seeded Ancient Grains Sourdough

NOVA Classification:

Group 3 — Processed food

Strict NOVA Verdict:

Not ultra-processed

This loaf avoids emulsifiers, preservatives and added oils, keeping it outside strict NOVA ultra-processed classification. However, fermented wheat flour is still used as a modern formulation ingredient, making it more nuanced than a traditional sourdough loaf.
