Simple Kneads Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Review and Giveaway (Allergen and Gum-Free – No-Starch-Added)

Simple Kneads bakes up gluten free sourdough-based sandwich bread the day they are shipped to your door. It’s completely void of the top eight allergens, including gluten. They do not contain any white-refined starch such as tapioca, corn, or potato. However, they are full of wonderful ancient and whole grains. Their breads don’t even contain gum such as xanthan and guar. Instead, they use psyllium husk powder to provide structure and hold the ingredients together, providing tons of moisture, which allows a longer shelf life. Speaking of shelf life, they use natural preservatives such as raisin juice concentrate. Check out my video, review, and a wonderful giveaway all sponsored by Simple Kneads. This giveaway has ended.

Is Sourdough Bread Healthier For Me?

Wild yeast, the yeast that is in a sourdough starter mixture is different than commercial yeast. I found this quote from a member of Fresh Loaf website who stated,

“Sourdough benefits include a longer shelf life, better flavor, and healthier bread. The longer fermentation time of sourdough breaks down proteins into amino acids for a more readily digestible bread. Sourdough bread is essentially a fermented food and like other fermented foods it is good for your health. Sourdough bread can aid in ensuring that your blood glucose level remains in line, helping to guard against various diseases such as diabetes. This is all in contrast to the use of commercial yeast employed for quick production.

“The glycemic impact of sourdough bread is low as compared to commercial yeast. The inclusion of lactic acids (and acetic acids) makes for a much healthier and more readily digestible product. Found in grains, naturally occurring phytic acid, which is not good for digestion by a single stomach such as we humans have, is reduced or eliminated in sourdough but remains in commercial yeast bread.”

Are there allergens in the bread?

The breads are free of all top 8 allergens. However, if you are intolerant to corn, note that their organic cultured dextrose is derived from corn.

Gluten Free Sourdough Pumpernickel BreadThis naturally cultured sourdough gluten-free bread is infused with pumpkin seeds for a mouth-watering play on pumpernickel. Delightful in any dish where dark rye bread is traditionally used.

Review: The above are the words from Simple Kneads. My husband and I both agree. This is great-tasting bread! It reminds us of rye bread more than pumpernickel as it is not sweet. It is our favorite out of their three flavors and we will definitely be wanting more!

This naturally cultured sourdough gluten-free bread is light in flavor and moist inside, with an artisan-style crust.
