Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is a traditional Central and Eastern European condiment of salted, fermented cabbage known for its tangy, slightly sour flavor and long shelf life. It’s commonly served with sausages, sandwiches and as a side to rich dishes. Nutritionally, Sauerkraut is low in calories and provides about 2.8g of fiber per 100g, along with small amounts of protein and beneficial micronutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin K. Because it’s made from cabbage, it also contributes plant compounds typical of cruciferous vegetables. As a fermented food, Sauerkraut can introduce live, food-associated microbes and is valued for supporting digestive variety; it’s also a convenient way to add fiber and micronutrients to meals without many calories.
