“Lizzy” Sourdough Starter Culture (in a Jar) contains all you will need to jumpstart your very own heirloom yeast for baking delicious sourdough rye bread all packed into a beautifully labelled, transparent glass jar. The “Lizzy” Sourdough Starter Culture has been nurtured in South Africa since 2016, making it a very stable (and particularly delicious) strain indeed.

• It’s very simple, and easy to do
• Bread made from cultured wild yeast has a better texture than commercially produced breads, made with instant yeast, preservatives, and other unnecessary additives like sugar
• Sourdough culture contains lactobacilli which acts upon proteins (like gluten) and results in lactic acid as a by-product which lends sourdough its distinct flavour
• Wild yeast culture Improves the bioavailability of nutrients in bread making it easier to digest
• Yeast culture can be stored for more than two years when dried
