Organic Sauerkraut

Great product, very tasty and delicious, best value sauerkraut available that i have seen. <3

This sauerkraut is lightly pasteurised, so has no probiotic benefits, but it works fine if you just want to add some extra vegetables to your meal or are out of fresh veggies. This sauerkraut can be eaten warm and mixed into soups. Ceres have confirmed to me that this product is lightly pasteurised so that it doesn't need to be refrigerated until after opening, and can therefore be safely kept in the pantry until the use by date, like any other standard product. For those of you who are new to fermented vegetables and are looking to balance gut bacteria or candida overgrowth, please note that natural 'Probiotic' sauerkraut is always stored in the fridge (even before opening) and has 'RAW' on the labels to indicate that it has not been pasteurised.

It tastes pasteurised, and Ceres have confirmed to me that after being fermented in its own juice, this sauerkraut is then lightly pasteurised to remove all probiotics and other bacteria as part of the canning/jarring process. I'm don't know whether the B vitamins and vitamin K created during lacto-fermentation are able to survive pasteurisation. Do not buy this if you are looking for probiotic raw sauerkraut. You will need to buy that labelled raw from the refrigerator of a speciality shop, or ferment your own.

when this arrived i was surprised at the size of the jar, product is well priced compared to comparative brands on the market. and it tastes so good! i've recently been consuming a lot of kimchi and was looking for a less spicy alternative. bonus of sauerkraut is that it makes a perfect zingy sandwich filling. love it with alfalfa sprouts grated carrot and crushed falafel on sourdough but as a side to roasted potatoes it is also great :-)
