Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use exactly 2% sea salt by weight of the cabbage to prevent harmful bacteria growth and ensure ideal fermentation.
  • After washing, remove all remaining outer moisture thoroughly with a dehydrator to avoid spoilage during fermentation and ensure proper sauerkraut formation.
  • When transferring to the jar, press down firmly to eliminate all air and submerge the cabbage completely in its own liquid.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make tangy fermented cabbage at home.
  • People looking for a refreshing, crunchy side dish to pair with rich meat dishes or sausages.
