    Sauerkraut has become one of my staples since I revamped my diet. It's what I consider a keto super food providing protein, fiber, and vitamin C.

    Great video on making your own sauerkraut. I had no idea it only takes cabbage, non iodized salt and time


    A great YT channel about 18th century life which could be 21st century life if we eff things up.

    I add a bit of kombucha to mine and use the extra scoobies I end up with to top/seal the kraut. Works really well

    I watched a clip about how the amish made sauerkraut before , and was really a lot simplier than I thought it would be . Still haven't tried it on my own yet . Thanks for the video ,,,and the reminder .

    There are stages of sauerkraut fermentation that might be changed when adding other bacteria cultures. This is one reason you're not suppose to add any of the juice from a prior batch to a new batch. I am not an expert so you could check into it more with people that might know (e.g., culturesforhealth.com). I can't see any harm from adding kombucha :^) Here is a short article I found that covers the phases: The Stages of Sauerkraut Fermentation | OlyKraut
