Recipe – Ready in 3 to 5 Days

Sauerkraut is a tangy, crunchy European staple known for its potent probiotic content and digestive benefits. It’s made with just two ingredients—cabbage and salt—but when fermented properly, it transforms into one of the most powerful gut-healing foods on Earth. With FermentPro, you can make delicious, small-batch kraut without guesswork.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 1 Quart)

• 1 medium head of cabbage (about 2–3 lbs)
