The Art and Science of Baking Sourdough to Support Health
It’s about more than bread—it’s about baking with purpose, a delicious stand for the world we want. Baking long, slow-fermented bread is a quiet, beautiful resistance to the globalisation of our bread. Crafting artisan loaves with ingredients to bring our communities together is activism that supports mental well-being and nourishes those we love.
Learn more from Baker, Dr Vanessa Kimbell, as she inspires a slower, more nourishing approach to baking, with thoughtful recipes, nutritional insights, and artisan knowledge that will transform the way you bake, eat, and share bread.
Manganese is only needed in small amounts, but has a role in many bodily functions. These include the formation of healthy bones, blood clotting, reducing inflammation and producing antioxidants. It may also help reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
Good dietary sources of manganese include wholegrain bread, almonds and peanuts, sweet potatoes and spinach, and green and black tea.
