How to Make Lacto Fermented SAUERKRAUT and its Many HEALTH BENEFITS!

Hello, thanks so much for joining me in the kitchen today to make some Sauerkraut! This is one of my favorite ferments and one of the easiest ways to get a major health boost added to any meal!

Sauerkraut Recipe:
1-3 Tbsp REAL Salt! (no anticaking agents or added iodine!)
1 Quart Water if needed (use filtered or boiled and cooled water, chlorine will interfere with your ferment!)
1 Medium Cabbage - Fresh is always best but mid-winter storage or grocery store cabbage still makes a delicious kraut!

Optionally you can add some herbs and spices to taste as well as try experimenting with adding 1 part other veggie (carrots, cucumber, zucchini, onion, peppers, etc…) to 5 parts cabbage to create unique variations on the classic all cabbage kraut! So to clarify that would be for every 5 cups of shredded cabbage you could mix in 1 cup of shredded carrots (or whatever floats your boat). Have fun creating your own spin on this healthful classic!

Let it ferment (at 55-75f ) for 1-2 weeks or more to taste, then switch to a tight-fitting lid and move to your refrigerator or other cool storage option (root cellar or cold basement) for longer term storage. I have kept sauerkraut in the fridge for up to a year personally.
