🩺 Dietitian's Take: When to Eat It & When to Skip It
✅ When It's a Smart Choice
- The Dietitian's Top Pick: At 130 calories, 0g sugar, 0g fat, and only 240mg sodium, this is unequivocally the healthiest foundation for an artisan sandwich at Panera.
- Sourdough Gut Benefits: The fermentation of wild yeast breaks down the gluten matrix slightly more than instant yeast, giving many individuals better gastric outcomes.
⚠️ When to Consider Alternatives
- Celiac Alert: Do not be fooled by internet myths—fermented sourdough still contains active gluten and is extremely dangerous for anyone with Celiac disease.
💡 Serving Hacks
- The Half & Half: Opt for a Half Sandwich using this bread paired with the Ten Vegetable Soup to keep your total meal under 400 calories.
