Real Sourdough vs Store-Bought | San Jose News

Sourdough’s slow, natural rise isn’t just for flavor—it’s a gut-friendly secret. But most store-bought loaves cheat with added yeast and vinegar, missing out on those real benefits. Texture and tang vary wildly: some are chewy and springy with a perfect sour bite, others are flat, overly acidic, or just plain bland. Top picks? San Luis for sweet-sour depth and Firebrand for nutty, sandwich-ready crumb. Avoid the vinegar bombs (Trader Joe’s) and flavor ghosts (Rudi’s). True sourdough? It’s worth the wait.
