  2. Known unknowns? Why didn't #sauerkraut stick here after the Romans? Why is it that my country (England) seems to lack a popular history about #salting or #pickling #vegetables in food preservation?
    Instead there's just a whole lot of salt beef in naval history. Vinegar should have been commonly available from apple trees in most places. While I'd guess most regions of England needed to buy in their salt; and the navy had money.

    How to Ferment Vegetables at Home (Simple, Safe, and Incredibly Cheap)

    January 9, 2026

    Excerpt: "Your First Ferment: Simple #Sauerkraut (A Real Recipe to Start)

    Before diving into theory, let’s get you one successful batch under your belt. Sauerkraut is the perfect starting point—forgiving, inexpensive, and utterly delicious.

    What you need

    1 medium green or red cabbage (about 2 pounds)
    1 tablespoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
    1 quart-sized mason jar
    Optional: 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, a few juniper berries, or a bay leaf for flavor

    The process

    Remove any wilted outer cabbage leaves. Reserve one large, clean leaf for later. Quarter the cabbage, cut out the core, and slice very thinly (the thinner the better for even fermentation). Place shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.

    Cutting the cabbage

    Now comes the therapeutic part: massage the cabbage with clean hands for 5-10 minutes. You’ll feel it soften and see liquid pool at the bottom of the bowl. This is exactly what you want—the cabbage is creating its own brine.

    Pack the cabbage tightly into your jar, pressing down firmly with your fist or a wooden spoon to eliminate air pockets. Pour any remaining liquid from the bowl over the cabbage.

    The brine should rise above the cabbage by at least an inch. If it doesn’t quite cover everything, make a quick 2% brine (dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in 1 cup water) and top it off.

    Here’s the crucial part: take that reserved cabbage leaf, fold it to fit the jar’s diameter, and tuck it on top of the shredded cabbage. This acts as a barrier to keep everything submerged.

    If you have a small glass jar or fermentation weight, place it on top of the leaf to hold everything down.

    Cover with a lid—either loosely screwed on or with an airlock lid if you have one. Place the jar on a small plate (to catch any overflow) and set it on your counter away from direct sunlight.

    What happens next

    Within 24-48 hours, you’ll see tiny bubbles forming—this is fermentation in action. If using a regular lid, open it once daily to release built-up carbon dioxide (this is called “burping”). Check that the cabbage stays submerged; if pieces are floating, just push them back down.

    After 3 days, start tasting. Use a clean fork to fish out a piece. If it tastes pleasantly tangy and pickle-y, it’s ready. If it’s just salty without sourness, give it another day or two. Most people find 5-7 days ideal for their first batch.

    Once it reaches a flavor you love, remove the weight and leaf, seal with a regular lid, and move to the refrigerator. It will keep for months and continue developing flavor (more slowly) in cold storage.

  4. How to Make #Sauerkraut ( #LactoFermented #Cabbage )

    By Luay Ghafari
    Updated May 08, 2024

    This 3-ingredient Homemade Sauerkraut Recipe (Lacto fermented cabbage) is a jumping-off point into the wonderful world of fermentation. It’s easy to prepare and incredibly rewarding.

    "A Note on Lacto-Fermentation

    Fermentation (more precisely lacto-fermentation) involves submerging vegetables and/or fruits in a brine solution (salt and water) or salting them to release water. Rather than killing bacteria (like pickling does), this process takes a different approach. When done correctly, fermentation kills or suppresses the bad bacteria while giving the beneficial bacteria a chance to thrive.

    This process transforms the vegetables and/or fruits into healthy, probiotic-rich lacto-fermented food.

    If you’ve ever tasted #kimchee or fermented hot sauce, you’ll notice they have an acidity that is different from a traditional vinegar pickle. They taste tangy, not pickled. They may even tingle on your tongue. This fizziness is from the carbon dioxide that is generated in the fermentation process.

    If this is your first time fermenting, I suggest you read my comprehensive post on lacto-fermentation and lactic acid bacteria [link at bottom of post]. It’ll give you all the basics you need to confidently ferment all the vegetables!"

  5. #RedCabbage #Sauerkraut

    By Leda Meredith
    Updated on January 1, 2026

    "Why make this?

    - Homemade sauerkraut is packed with healthy probiotics and keeps for months in the fridge.
    - The tangy, fresh flavor pairs well with apples, pork roast, or sandwiches with corned beef.
    - Fermenting your own cabbage is easy and requires no special canning or sterilizing equipment.

    Red #cabbage makes a colorful variation of traditional sauerkraut.

    Making sauerkraut couldn't be easier—there's no canning, no sterilizing of jars, and no long list of ingredients. You can have all the work done in under 10 minutes. The only difficult part is waiting a week while the sauerkraut ferments and the flavor develops. If you fall in love with this process, you can give other veggies a similar treatment, such as green beans and carrots. The process of #lactofermentation is a great way to extend the shelf life of any given vegetable."

  6. Gibt es hier Menschen, die sich mit Gärtöpfen auskennen? Mir ist der Deckel zerbrochen. Kann man das irgendwie flicken? Habe nach Ersatzdeckeln gesucht, bin aber nicht sicher ob die passen würden und soo viel billiger als ein neuer Topf (mit Deckel) scheinen die auch gar nicht zu sein.

    Bin dankbar für Tips und Hinweise! :)

  8. CW: lung-esophagus axis? sauerkraut is magic?

    I've been having symptoms consistent with eosinophilic esophagitis FIRE syndrome for some time. There are foods that seem to trigger a reaction only sometimes; the threshold for reactivity seems to move up and down. Exposure to lung irritants seems to be a key factor in moving the threshold downwards.

    I worked outside in a public garden today for a couple of hours without a mask, not realizing the air quality was poor. I recently had success eating foods that I sometimes react to with sauerkraut (I have no idea what's going on there), including rice - a food I had 'lost' and then regained, then lost again. I tried the rice with sauerkraut thing and was disappointed to find that today I had to eat *a lot* of sauerkraut to swallow it without too much pain.

    I decided to sit outside on the patio after, but only for a few minutes as I looked over at our air monitor and found it was yellow-orange - then I realized I had been breathing bad air for a while today. It only just now started to smell like smoke.

    Th sauerkraut thing is weird since it is acidic and the thing that helps me quell an acute reaction is baking soda water. I thought it had to do with the alkalinity calming mast cells. 🤷‍♂️

  9. @sunumbral Napa cabbage is much more delicate than regular cabbage when I make #kimchi , I only ferment it on the counter for 3 days, unlike #sauerkraut which I ferment for 3 weeks before refrigeration. I think there are a lot of additions you can make with either sort of #fermentation. One guy here uses paprika instead of gochugaru.

  13. @jonobie
    #kimchi, #yogurt, and #sauerkraut are pretty easy, at least the way that I do it. They are SO delicious, and have the natural benefits of fermentation, unlike storebought, which will usually be pasteurized, killing all of the good bacteria.

  18. Kielbasa Sandwich: A Pennsylvania Delicacy

    For those unfamiliar with Pennsylvania, we have a wide variety of delicious foods that are native to many areas of the world and fused with American style. This is an example of a Polish kielbasa grilled, put in a good hard roll, and topped with sauerkraut that's been fried with peppers and onions. It's one of the best hot sandwiches I've had in a long time. This masterpiece was made by Dymski Pierogies.

    Die zu hohen Bügel unterstütze ich mit Korkscheiben, aus Weinkorken einigermaßen passend abgeschnitten.

    Kann jemand eine bewährte Anleitung und Erfahrungen teilen?

    Ich habe bisher nur #Sauerkraut gemacht, aber noch nie #Gemüse probiert. Bin neugierig. 😊

  30. @LifeTimeCooking
    The nori, actually the "kim", sounds like an excellent addition. I haven't been eating my #kimchi as often, so the flavours have really developed. I also have a fair amount of #sauerkraut to enjoy. My ginger beer has carbonated now, and it is excellent! Even though I don't typically drink sweetened beverages, a shotglass/day seems like an excellent idea.

  31. @AmeliasBrain Haha, lovely poem! The newer Classico bottles are far more reusable than other brands, but I don't eat pasta that often these days, so I haven't been accumulating the bottles. I'm really happy to keep nearly everything in my pantry in glass, especially since a Christmas visit from a mouse!
    As well, I do regular #fermentation, and I often give away jars of #kimchi and #sauerkraut. The jars don't generally come back to me. One jar did, filled with dried pasta, which I appreciated. In the summer, I like to preserve some jam if berries come my way. These jars will certainly get used by me, and they aren't all that cheap to buy.
