When you sprout or ferment, unlock all the nutrients, and now you're absorbing all of it.

So some of these grains, like rye and barley in particular, I mean, they have good nutritional value, especially when they're fermented.

So we know when they're talking about bread in the Bible, it was pretty much all sourdough bread for the most part, or a good majority of it, or it was sprouted.

And so that was a pretty good food at the time.

What I'm saying is, by the way, I'm not endorsing bread.

No, I...

Just so you know, I am saying that bread is not a villain, and if you're going to eat bread, eat sourdough from ancient grains.

Well, you don't live in the South.

So if you lived in Nashville, and some people would struggle with this, but there are, like my wife's been making sourdough for about three, four years now, a friend of Carrie Underwood, she started making it and Chelsea was talking to her.

And so she ended up making that.

There are a lot of homesteaders

in the South.

And if, listen, if you're on this podcast or YouTube or social media listening to this and you make it stand, you know, I'd like to hear from you here, but there are so many, I mean, you'd be shocked at how many women now are making sourdough bread at home.

You'd be shocked.

So let me just say, it's actually more prevalent than you probably realize, but you could go to Air One or Whole Foods Market.

I said Air One, nobody's going to Air One hardly, but you can go to Sprouts

You can go to Public, potentially.

There's a brand called Rudy's that has sourdough spelt.

There are a lot of local bakeries.

I mean, all over Tennessee.
