It’s hard to imagine a more desirable snack on the winter table than sauerkraut.
This impressive dish has excellent taste and also helps to strengthen the immune system.
However, sometimes the cabbage doesn't work out.
What could this be related to?
The vegetable was bought in the store
The recipe for sauerkraut was developed for vegetables grown in natural conditions. Late varieties are sweeter, as they can accumulate sugar due to cold weather.
Store-bought cabbage lacks this "bonus". This is precisely why the dish may not turn out. Therefore, after purchasing it, it is worth leaving the vegetable on the balcony for some time.
Carrot
The taste of not only the cabbage itself, but also the carrots is important. In order for the dish to be successful, it is extremely important to choose sweet carrots.
You can find this vegetable in the store. Just evaluate the taste of carrots separately before cooking.
Salt
It is worth noting right away that to prepare ideal sauerkraut, use coarse regular salt. You should not take more than one spoon per kilogram of vegetable.
If you follow these three basic rules, your sauerkraut will always turn out well.
