🕯️ Tonight’s descent:
Long before nutrition labels, probiotics, or food science jargon, medieval peasants understood sourdough at a level modern society has largely forgotten.

For them, sourdough wasn’t a trend.
It wasn’t artisanal branding.
It was daily survival knowledge.

And in many ways, they handled it better than we do today.

⛪ Explore this forgotten fermentation wisdom where bread was treated as a living system. Medieval peasants maintained starters for generations, adjusted hydration by season, and understood how temperature, grain type, and fermentation time affected digestion and strength.

They didn’t rush bread.
They listened to it.

Natural fermentation:

Broke down gluten before baking

Reduced gut-irritating compounds

Preserved grain nutrients

Modern sourdough often imitates the look — while skipping the process.

💀 This isn’t nostalgia — it’s microbiology.
Why does long fermentation protect the gut?
What happens when sourdough is sped up for profit?
And why did people who worked brutal physical jobs rely on this bread daily without digestive collapse?

From stone-ground flour to wild microbial cultures, medieval peasants didn’t just bake bread — they practiced applied gut science without knowing the terminology.
