Classic Sauerkraut
Try this simple recipe for making classic sauerkraut using raw cabbage. This fermented food is great for your gut.

The easiest way to consume sauerkraut is as a condiment but it can also be stirred into just about anything from pasta, stir fries, and smoothies to mashed potatoes.
