Episode 82: Alcohol, Acidity, & Ancient Grains: Rethinking Bread with Anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler
In this episode Corey and Christine sit down with renowned anthropologist, author, and food archaeologist Dr. Bill Schindler to dive deep into the ancient art—and science—of bread-making. From the pH of properly fermented sourdough to the impact of properly prepared alcohol, Dr. Schindler brings a wealth of ancestral knowledge and modern research to the table. They discussed why fermentation is essential for bioavailability and digestion, and how ancestral bread differs drastically from what you’ll find in today’s grocery stores. If you’ve ever wondered what the "best" bread really is—or whether you should be eating it at all—this conversation is for you!
