Sauerkraut is not just healthy. It is also a great way to preserve the harvest. No one has ever refused an invigorating and crunchy snack.
It is believed that cabbage should be fermented in late autumn. But does this mean that cabbage fermented in January will be less tasty?
In the old days, special days were chosen for pickling cabbage, both according to the lunar calendar and days of the week.
Women in Rus' approached this process very responsibly.
Modern housewives have gotten rid of most of the prejudices, and therefore prepare their favorite dishes when they have time, and not when they are allowed.
But if we are talking about the lunar calendar, then let's name the best days for pickling cabbage in January.
It is no secret that the night light in its different phases influences the growth of plants and even the fermentation processes of brine in cabbage.
It is believed that if the housewife starts harvesting during the full moon, the cabbage will most likely turn out bland.
If you prepare it on the new moon, the preparation will be sour.
There may not be enough salt during the waning moon, so there is nothing else to do but ferment during the waxing moon.
They say that there will be enough salt, and the bacteria responsible for fermentation will be maximally active.
Please note
To avoid making a mistake, feel free to ferment cabbage in January 2024, but between the 18th and 24th.
The new moon this month falls on January 11th and 25th.
