How to make sauerkraut at home

It’s very easy to make Sauerkraut.

You can add:

  • ginger
  • garlic
  • anti-inflammatory spices
  • citrus peel
  • onions
  • peppers (try dried chipotle peppers)
  • and other yummy and healthy ingredients

You just chop up the vegetables, cover them in brine, put on a loose lid (to let the gas escape) and wait 4 to 7 days. You can measure a 1% to 3% brine using a kitchen scale, but I just add 3 tsp of finely ground salt (or 4 tablespoons of very course salt) to 4 cups of water. That is close enough. Then you just pop the jar in the refrigerator. I also brine and ferment sweet peppers and cauliflower. It’s hard to screw up.
