A comprehensive guide to making delicious homemade sauerkraut through lacto-fermentation
Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage that has been used for centuries as a method of food preservation. Through the process of lacto-fermentation, beneficial bacteria (primarily Lactobacillus) convert the sugars in cabbage into lactic acid, creating a tangy, probiotic-rich food that's both delicious and healthy.
Simple: Only 2 ingredients required (cabbage + salt)
Economical: Much cheaper than store-bought
Customisable: Control the flavour, texture, and add-ins
Healthier: More probiotics than commercial versions
Satisfying: There's something special about making your own fermented foods
