Vegetables
Refrigerator
Most vegetables go to shops fresh from the land or greenhouse. Sauerkraut doesn't. Sauerkraut starts as white cabbage. The outer leaves and hard core are removed. The rest is cut into fine strips. The sliced white cabbage is lightly salted. Sauerkraut is digestible, mildly sour in flavour and rich in vitamins. It is best to keep pre-packed sauerkraut cool and dark.
