Sauerkraut is very good for health
It was in the 16th century that the Germans invented salt fermentation.
This is how sauerkraut spread in Alsace, a region which gave its letters of nobility to our traditional Sauerkraut and which baptized it, since in Alsatian "Sürkrüt": literally "sür" (sour) and "Krüt" (grass) = Sauerkraut!
Alsace is today the leading region producing sauerkraut cabbage. The most widespread variety is the julienne or quintal (a white cabbage). Cabbages are grown in the north of the region and harvested from July to November!
To take nothing away from its charm, sauerkraut is very good for your health because it is rich in vitamin C! Unlike the White Wines of Alsace and the different kinds of beer, rest assured: Sauerkraut can be consumed without moderation!
