Give it to me Raw

I hereby declare our - by which I mean my wife and my - first proper attempt at sauerkraut a success!

There is nowhere in London (that I'm aware of, anyway) where you can buy raw sauerkraut. Organic, yes, but that's cooked and has salt added. So we decided that we just had to do it ourselves.


We used one of these fermenting pots...

... and then it was just a case of waiting patiently.

Well worth the wait, as it's delicious. I already take a salad to work everyday for my lunch - now I add a couple of spoonfuls of sauerkraut too!

In Russia sauerkraut or "kvashenaya kapusta" is a staple food among with other fermented vegetables, during the long cold winter. From my memory, here is the simplest recipe you need absolutely no equipment for:
Shred the cabbage - finely or coarsely - and massage it (rather vigorously) with salt. Put it into a large dish, Take a wooden spatula and make several holes in the cabbage mass, cover with plate, which's circumference is smaller than that one of the dish (you can use a large pot, if you haev loads of cabbage) and put a large heavy stone over it. Leave it at room temperature, to ferment beautifully, for a couple of day. The salt will work as a liquid inducing agent, and in a couple of days you should end up with loads and loads of wonderful kapusta. Writing this makes me want to go and make some. White firm or red firm cabbage is the best, well, at least for this recipe. Enjoy!

Thanks Loren. Makes sense to me. My problem is that when I blend (which means more volume of fruits) then i am more regular with my bowels. What I can eat & chew doesn't always trigger peristalsis in the same way. I had chemo a few years back and ...

I don't know. But a chiropractic subluxation means that you either have too little or too much electricity flowing to your organs. Too little means your temperature will be below 37 degrees. And you probably lack energy and may have chronic dise...
