Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a significant difference in quality between dried and traditional sourdough starter. Thank you.
Theoretically, there should be no discrepancy (as long as the manufacturer adheres to the legal process and terminology), because sourdough is essentially fermented flour that the manufacturer can distribute in either dry or wet form. On the product label, check the composition, which should be simple - either fermented flour (most commonly rye) is listed, or flour and starter cultures, and nothing else should rightly be present in the product.
