Homemade Sauerkraut Field Card

Cabbage, salt, time. That is the whole recipe. I lived in Germany long enough to know what real sauerkraut tastes like, and a few weeks in a mason jar gets you closer than anything on a store shelf. Store-bought is usually pasteurized, which kills the cultures that make it worth eating. This version is alive.

The Field Card covers what you need, the four-step process, how long to ferment, and why the salt and water you use actually matter.
