Sourdough Discard Pancakes
Since the beginning of this year, I have created and nurtured my sourdough starter (his name is Zeus), and he has allowed provision of an abundance of creations such as constant sourdough loaves, hot cross buns, pancakes, crumpets, pizza bases and so so much more!
Sourdough discard is the portion of sourdough starter that is removed before feeding and refreshing the starter. As sourdough discard is a fermented food, it contains beneficial bacteria that can support gut health. These bacteria, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, help to break down food and aid in nutrient absorption. Sourdough discard is also a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health and can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Fiber can also help to regulate blood sugar levels and promote satiety, making it an important nutrient for weight management.
These pancakes also include the incredible Modere Axis™ Phytogreens; here is just a few reasons why I love this product and why I chose to include it in this recipe:
Promotes Healthy Digestion: Modere Axis™ Phytogreens contains a blend of organic superfoods, including kale, broccoli, and spinach, that are rich in fiber and other nutrients that support digestive health. Research has shown that kale and spinach are particularly beneficial for digestive health, as they are rich in antioxidants and other compounds that can help to reduce inflammation and improve gut health.
Supports Immune Function: The ingredients in Modere Axis™ Phytogreens, such as spirulina, chlorella, and barley grass, are rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for immune function. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that spirulina supplementation significantly improved the immune response in healthy individuals by increasing the production of antibodies and other immune cells.
Provides Energy and Reduces Fatigue: The ingredients in Modere Axis™ Phytogreens, such as spirulina and chlorella, are rich in chlorophyll, a pigment that is known to provide energy and reduce fatigue. A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that spirulina supplementation significantly improved exercise performance and reduced fatigue in athletes.
