Why Make Your Own Sauerkraut?

Sure, you can buy sauerkraut at the store, but homemade kraut offers superior flavor, better probiotics, and zero preservatives. Plus, making it yourself allows you to control the fermentation process and experiment with flavors.

Health Benefits of Sauerkraut

  • Supports gut health – Packed with probiotics that promote digestion and boost immunity.
  • Rich in vitamins – High in vitamin C, vitamin K, and B vitamins.
  • Great for your microbiome – Fermented foods help balance the gut, supporting overall health.
  • Easy to digest – Fermentation breaks down fiber, making nutrients more bioavailable.

What You Need to Get Started

Before you begin, make sure you have the right tools. We recommend quality fermentation supplies from Cultures for Health.

Basic Equipment:

  • Glass fermentation jar or crock – Avoid plastic or metal.
  • Cabbage shredder or sharp knife – For fine, even slices.
  • Salt – Use non-iodized salt like sea salt or Himalayan salt.
  • Fermentation weights – Keep cabbage submerged in brine.
  • Airlock lid or cloth cover – Allows gases to escape while keeping contaminants out.
