​Discover the Ancient Art of Sourdough
Sourdough traces its roots back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, and it remains the gold standard today for making bread. For centuries, cultures around the world have recognized the power of fermentation, which transforms simple wheat into a nutrient-rich and easily digestible food. Chefs have valued sourdough for its distinctive flavor and have used it to enhance their dishes. However, with the introduction of commercial yeast in North America, the traditional art of making sourdough has nearly vanished—until now!

At Paz Sourdough Tortillas, we have revived this timeless craft. Our sourdough tortillas far surpass today's conventional flour tortillas:
​​​
Sourdough vs Whole grain
Whole grain tortillas are naturally rich in calcium, iron, and zinc. They also contain phytic acid, which blocks the body's ability to absorb these essential minerals.
Our sourdough tortillas are fermented over 12 hours, which breaks down phytic acid, allowing your body to absorb more of these essential nutrients.
​​
Diabetic-Friendly
Sourdough contains lactic acid bacteria which reduces the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream which causes the blood sugar to rise slowly. Regular and whole wheat tortillas are not fermentated, so they digest quickly, causing the blood pressure to spike.
​​
Easier to digest
For those who suffer from mild gluten sensitivity, fermentation breaks down the gluten, making it easier on the digestive system.
​​
Weight management
Sourdough has a lower glycemic index (compared to regular or whole wheat tortillas) which helps stabilize blood sugar, reducing cravings and prevent overeating.
​​
Anti-Aging
Sourdough is rich in Antioxidants: like phenolic compounds, which combat oxidative stress—a key factor in aging
​​
Boosts the Immune system
Sourdough contains prebiotics a resistant starch which bypasses the small intestine and enters the large intestine where it fertilizes the good bacteria boosting the immune system
​​
Long-Lasting Energy
The slow-release carbs and protein keeps you full and energized throughout the day without crashes.
