Sauerkraut is a tangy, fermented cabbage dish with roots in Central and Eastern European cuisine. Made simply from shredded cabbage and salt, it undergoes a natural fermentation process that develops its signature flavor and enhances its nutritional profile. This probiotic-rich food is packed with live, beneficial bacteria that support gut health and digestion. Sauerkraut is also a good source of fiber, vitamins C and K, and key minerals such as potassium and iron. Low in calories but high in flavor, it can be enjoyed as a side dish, a topping for sausages, or an ingredient in various recipes. While sauerkraut is generally nutritious, its high sodium content from the fermentation process may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Opt for raw, unpasteurized versions to maximize its probiotic benefits, as heating can destroy the live cultures.
