Hello Reader,

Do you even like sauerkraut? I didn't when I first tried it as an adult twenty-plus years ago.

Growing up, sauerkraut was that nasty stuff slathered on a hot dog. No, thank you!

It wasn't until my 40s, when I read that healthy traditional societies all consumed some type of fermented food, that I got the courage to try it and... convince my family to eat it.

And, as we slowly added it to our diets (My eldest son, that was trying to repopulate his gut after a round of antibiotics for Lyme disease, ate just a few strands), I learned more about sauerkraut and how different the canned stuff put on hot dogs is from homemade, naturally fermented sauerkraut.

Get the scoop on sauerkraut, a nutritious food packed with fiber, vitamins, enzymes, and probiotics.

​What is Sauerkraut? History, Benefits, How to Make {And... ENJOY!}​

In this post, you’ll learn what sauerkraut is, where sauerkraut originated (spoiler alert, not Germany), the powerful health benefits of this delicious condiment, and how to make your own.
​
I’ve been making my own sauerkraut for over 20 years now, and due to how effortlessly and flavorfully it keeps my gut healthy, I don’t leave home without it.​
​
And, since it unlocks and elevates the flavors of any dish, I don't eat dinner without it.​
