Sauerkraut, the Kink Your Diet Needs

Unpasteurized sauerkraut may just be the kink your diet needs. We can agree that sour cabbage may not exactly have the most delectable of tastes, but its superior probiotic qualities will make you change your mind. This power dish is prepared by salting shredded cabbage and pressing it in airtight condition to release water and allow for fermentation by lactobacillus bacteria. Cruciferous vegetables have appreciable amounts of phytonutrients which are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents such as Isothiocyanates.

Fermenting cabbage will not only lengthen its shelf-life but will allow you to reap the most of its nutritional offers, a healthy gut for a start. Consider piling some sauerkraut beside your nyama choma, sandwiches, and stews. It is important to understand that pasteurization kills all microbes, beneficial or not and it is best to take unpasteurized sauerkraut for maximum benefits.
