Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut
(Sauerkraut) Sauerkraut is shredded, salted, and fermented white cabbage.  We have not found a lot of difference between the quality and taste of sauerkraut sold in cans, jars, or plastic bags, though we have had one brand of canned sauerkraut with an off flavor; thus, we stay with the brands we like.  We use sauerkraut in several of our recipes.  The only drawback is the high salt content, but other than that the flavor is great!  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
