Spoiler alert - did you know that Sauerkraut did not originate in Germany? Sauerkraut actually originated nearly 2,000 years ago in ancient China. In winter, the Chinese would preserve their cabbage with rice wine, which soured the cabbage and provided a nutritious year-round staple for the laborers building the Great Wall of China. Later, though, the preserved cabbage was carried to Europe and improved upon, fermenting it with salt, rather than rice wine. This modern process and food staple quickly became popular in Germany where the German word sauerkraut - sauer (sour) and kraut (cabbage) - was borne.
Sauerkraut is an incredibly healthy and nutritious fermented food and a great choice for those seeking to improve gut health. The naturally present and healthy probiotics crowd out the bad bacteria and allow for a balanced and restored gut microbiome. With many healing qualities, you can trust that Bubbies recipe is always preservative-free, sugar-free, non-GMO, gluten free, and Kosher certified.
