Raw and Lacto-fermented sauerkraut is a far cry from the soft, vinegary stuff in a can we ate as kids. Fermented sauerkraut has many health benefits:
It is ripe with probiotic power – a great way to rebuild healthy bacteria in our systems due to the overuse of antibiotics.
Is a good source of vitamin C – sauerkraut was packed for long sea voyages to ward off scurvy (caused by vitamin C deficiency)
It has cancer-fighting properties, both as a cruciferous food and boosted further through fermentation which inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
