Trader Joe’s Rants & Raves (mostly raves, a few rants)

If you love sauerkraut, as I do, then you will find that this TJ version is perhaps the best sauerkraut you ever tried. According to Trader Joe’s they say even if you don’t like it, this version may change your mind about SAUERKRAUT. Now that’s confidence in your product huh?! Unlike commercially made mass-produced sauerkraut which is cooked this sauerkraut is a raw, fermented food product which doesn’t even have vinegar. TJ says its made by a small batch producer in the traditional way, which is simply cabbage treated with salt left to ferment. Old School. The real McCoy. It has some pickled Persian cucumbers in it too which add a little more crunch and variety. This Sauerkraut goes perfectly with hot dogs of course, as well as sausages. This kraut would go especially with TJ’s excellent German made BAVARIAN BRATWURST previously reviewed, with a Rave. As we know now, fermented foods are very good for your digestive system, gut health and overall health in general. It’s considered healthy to eat something fermented on a regular or daily basis. A spoonful of this (or kimchi or kefir) every day and your gut bacteria will be aces. Trader Joe’s Sauerkraut with Persian cucumbers is $3.99 for a 14 oz. container. Ingredients:, Cabbage, Persian Cucumbers, Salt, Garlic.
