Highlights
Unlock the secrets of ancient baking with our very active 5000+ year old Egyptian sourdough starter, sourced from one of the oldest ethnic bakeries in Egypt. This unique starter, discovered in Hurghada along the shores of the Red Sea, is not only a baking tool but a piece of history.
Sourdough cultures are living starters that can last indefinitely with proper care. By feeding them at least once a week with flour and water while stored in the refrigerator, you can keep your sourdough active and ready to bake for years to come.
History:
This starter comes from a bakery that dates back to antiquity, nestled in the shadow of the pyramids. The bread was traditionally placed on the village streets to rise, showcasing the community’s connection to their craft. This is likely the culture that produced some of the world’s first leavened bread. Ed and Jean Wood collected this starter during a National Geographic Society expedition aimed at uncovering how the Egyptians baked in 4500 B.C. Today, it’s part of a rich legacy that has survived for millennia.

With a mild flavor, this starter enhances the taste of your baked goods without overpowering them. It works beautifully with both all-purpose and bread flour, allowing for versatility in your recipes.

Arrived quickly and in good shape.. thanks!
Arrived quickly and come with all the instructions from planting to harvesting. Very pleased
They were clean, packaged well & arrived quickly. I was sent extra tubers so I ate one raw for the 1st time & the first thing that it reminded me of is jicama without the jicama flavor. I can’t wait to grow them for the leaves, flowers, & tubers. I definitely recommend this seller. Thank you!
