Sauerkraut-Original 450gm (blr)

ORIGINAL SAUERKRAUT 

DESCRIPTION: Traditionally fermented, original sauerkraut is made with finely sliced green and purple cabbage. The beautiful process of lacto-fermentation brings a distinctive sour taste in the cabbage after breaking down the naturally occurring sugars. We add dill, juniper berries and caraway for the additional savour, giving you a probiotic food that is both healthy and palatable. Sauerkraut offers nutrition and health benefits far beyond those of fresh cabbage. 

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Taste: Sauerkraut has a distinctive sour taste characterized by slightly salty and an acidic flavour as a result of the healthy acids produced by the probiotic bacteria. These bacteria convert the sugars in the cabbage into lactic acid, which gives sauerkraut its peculiar tart and tangy flavour. The taste varies according to the stage of fermentation, from plain salty to vinegary sour that comes from fermentation and not from vinegar. It has a bit of earthiness from the cabbage.

Texture and mouthfeel: Sauerkraut is soft but has a crunchy and firm texture. The traditional low-salt fermentation keeps the cabbage crisp. It usually softens with time while inside the brine as it is chopped into extremely thin slices, but it is always a bit crunchy.

Smell: A well fermented batch of sauerkraut has a pleasantly sour smell with a faint note of sulphur, which comes from the cabbage. It also has the distinct smell of fermentation caused by the conversion of sulphur to hydrogen sulphide during the fermentation and is a sign of success in the process.

INGREDIENTS: Green Cabbage, Purple Cabbage, Himalayan Pink Salt, Dill, Juniper Berries, Caraway.
