Sauer Kraut

As some of you may have read early on, Sasha and I eat based on the Body Ecology Diet. Part of this diet involves eating lots of fermented foods, such as Sauer Kraut. I’ve meant to photo-log making it for this site, but kept forgetting until today.

First get a ton of vegetables. I like: Cabbage, Diakon, Beets, Carrots, Garlic, Ginger.

Get some veggie cutting tools.

Then sterilize your cutting surfaces, cutting tools and your containers by boiling hot water and pouring it over them. A grater reeeeeally helps cut down on the cutting.

Wash vegetables with water. Chop that shit up.


Add some salt (not too much) and Sasha always throws a lot of Dill in there for flavor. Then mix it all up.

Put in sterilized jar, fill with filtered water, seal & let sit for a few days. Taste it occasionally to see if it has reached the delicious point. If it goes rancid, you’ll know and don’t eat it.

  1. Do you use any salt and/or vinegar for brining?
