What is "sauerkraut"?
Sauerkraut is a fermented cabbage dish, typically made by finely shredding cabbage and fermenting it with salt. During the fermentation process, beneficial bacteria convert the natural sugars in cabbage into lactic acid, giving sauerkraut its distinctive tangy flavor. It is often enjoyed as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and hot dogs and is known for its probiotic properties, which can support digestive health.
