Happy International Sauerkraut Day!

Every March 24th is a day to celebrate the deliciousness that is Sauerkraut! It is a great time to go to an authentic German restaurant, make Sauerkraut, eat sauerkraut, and maybe even wrestle in Sauerkraut!

Yes, here in northern gemany, we use "Kasseler"(smoked pork chop), Kochwurst/cooked sausage, my wife uses 3-4 juniper berrys, a little bit caraway and pototoes as well. Mustard for dipping the sausage and smoked pork chop. It could be that in other parts in Germany the recipie is a little bit different. :)

I love Sauerkraut! 3-4 times a year it´s on the table. I found a better Picture. In this way with mashed potatoes.

Sauerkraut is a very good food,more we eat at Winter time..

Natural probiotics and vitamin C

Cabbage is one incredible vegetable,full of good nutes that will not made body fat but healthy and strong,fresh on salad is also amazingly good..


I vote for cabbage anytime...

I used to ferment my own, small batches. Real easy. Shred some cabbage, put in mason jars, add a touch of kosher salt and fill with spring water. Seal and put it in dark, cool place. In a few weeks you have kraut. I always store mine when fermenting in a cooler, always afraid of an explosion and the cooler also catches any leakage out the top.

I usually have simple tastes and don't really like flavored foods, but when it comes to sauerkraut I do. Right now I'm finishing a jar of turmeric ginger kraut and next I think I'm going to try garlic dill. Awesome stuff.

I like Kimchi too but will save that for another thread.

Great tread.
Now that I can see that there are some experts in sauerkraut I want to ask a question about it.
I tasted sauerkraut first time in Prague, it came with almost every meal like if it was a salad and i liked it very much.
When we came back I bought canned sauerkraut but that tasted very sauer and acid like, not at all like the delicious kraut from Prague.
I have tried several other brands but always the same acid taste.
My question is, how can I make the good stuff? I know how it is fermented but does that taste better than the ready made in cans?

Betterhaff posted a quick sauerkraut recipe above. Homemade kraut is delicious. Definitely better than store bought. Although, a couple of brands that are in the refrigerated section are better than the canned ones to me.

I agree some of the mass produced kraut isn't very palatable. Check out a health food store. They usually have lots of good artisan brands stocked in the refrigerated section. The stuff I buy is hand made, hand packed and locally sourced. It's expensive but totally worth it.
