What to add to sauerkraut: it’s no secret, but for some reason housewives forget

Some people think that sauerkraut is tasty on its own. That is, it is enough to add a little onion, pour some unrefined sunflower oil and that's it.

But there is no limit to perfection.

Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-category baker told what can be added to sauerkraut to rediscover the snack for yourself.

Simple ingredient

There are many recipes for preparing white cabbage for the winter.

But the healthiest ones are considered to be those where the cabbage goes through fermentation stages, and is not marinated with vinegar.

All recipes are extremely simple. The main ingredients, except for cabbage, are carrots and salt.

It is only important to choose a head of cabbage of the appropriate variety, freshness and quality.

Also, all housewives know that you can add dill seeds, cranberries, apples, and even lingonberries or grated horseradish to cabbage.

You can also ferment it with beets or marinate it with bell peppers. All these additives add color.

But a rare housewife remembers that cabbage to which a little bit of the stalk is added will turn out truly piquant.

For one head of cabbage, you will only need to rub off a quarter of the extracted stalk.

Then all the ingredients are mixed, kneaded and then the leaven continues as usual.
