Culinary Comment:

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. The fermentation is a result of salt working on finely shredded cabbage under strictly controlled conditions. In addition to giving the sauerkraut its characteristic strong flavour, the fermentation process makes the cabbage easier to digest. There are several kinds of cabbage, all good sources of vitamins A and C. All forms of cabbage contain many other vitamins and minerals.
