I've been baking homemade bread for YEARS, and I never even knew this product existed.I baked a loaf of wheat and a loaf of white, and found that I didn't taste much difference with wheat but the flavor I expected was more apparent (if that makes sense?)... no different flavor but more of it?The bigger difference was the white loaf, which I thought gave it a more nutty, flavorful taste than without it.This product is cheap and delicious. If you're making bread often (I make all of my own bread) you won't be disappointed in giving this a shot. It absolutely will not wreck whatever your recipe is.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price was better than others so I gave it a try and it did not disappoint!

It did what the information about it promised.Why did you pick this product vs others?:Looked like a small enough bag to try outTexture:It enhanced the bread’s flavor and softened the insidesQuality:It browned the bread I was making; and overall great effectValue for money:It wasn’t high priced

I bought this to add to fresh milled flour (FMF). It seems to add flavor

A little goes a long way.

You can't establish your own permanent starter from this, it's for making individual loaves. This is not a dehydrated sourdough starter, it's granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and granules of lactic acid bacteria cultures. This is an approximation of sourdough, but there's no flavor complexity compared to a healthy real starter made loaf. There's a huge diversity of microbes in a real starter that you will not get from thisIf you did buy this, at the very least it gives you a head start on creating your own starter by introducing yeast and bacteria, but definitely don't buy if you want a permanent starter to work with. I feel like this is labeled very deceptively

Love it for my homemade bread. Makes bread softer.

Can't wait to try this. It came highly recommended from a great bread maker.
