Fermented cabbage, commonly known as sauerkraut, is a tangy, preserved vegetable celebrated for its health benefits and culinary versatility. Originating from Eastern Europe, it has become a staple in many cuisines, including German, Polish, and Korean dishes. Made by fermenting shredded cabbage with salt, sauerkraut undergoes a natural lactic acid fermentation process, giving it its distinctive taste and probiotic properties. Rich in vitamins C, K, and B, as well as iron and fiber, it supports gut health, strengthens the immune system, and aids digestion. Low in calories and fat-free, it’s a nutritious addition to meals, though its sodium content can be high due to the salt used in fermentation. Incorporating fermented cabbage into a balanced diet can provide a flavorful boost to health, turning this humble ingredient into a functional food enjoyed worldwide.
