Sauerkraut

Guiding principle

Fresh white cabbage is cut into fine strips, without the stalk, and placed in a pot. Crushing is used to shatter the plant cells, the cell juices escape and must finally cover the cabbage completely. During fermentation, added salt removes the liquid from the cabbage and preserves the juice until fermentation is sufficiently advanced. The lactic acid bacteria present in the air and adhering to the white cabbage initiate the fermentation process.
The most important substance in sauerkraut is lactic acid, other ingredients are vitamins A, B, C and minerals, sugar, starch, cellulose, bitter substances, organic acids, histamine and sulfur.
