Make Your Own Sauerkraut

[bojulay]

I make some all the time, it is great and supposedly has
as many probiotics in it as cultured yogurt.

Here are a couple youtube videos on making it.
There are many more on youtube if you are interested
in this kind of stuff.





I just use a mason jar like in the first video.
But I let it ferment longer, about 7 to 10 days.

Why would one want to make sauerkraut? There is canned at the grocery store.

and they got canned beans too. but my crock pot pintos will be done in about 2 hours. man-o-man...some people like to make things. but i am not completely sure sauerkraut is on my list of things to make. actually i am sure it is low on the priority list.

The store bought is crap and more expensive, pasteurized so that all the probiotics have been killed.

Home made kraut has as many probiotics as cultured yogurt.
People eat it to straighten out digestive problems also, like acid reflux.

And it's so easy to make a child could do it.


I make homemade pickles also, but that's another thread. hahaha
