Homemade Fermented Sauerkraut with Caraway Seeds
ID: 04af4eee...
Learn how to make authentic, crunchy, and tangy lacto-fermented sauerkraut using fresh green cabbage, sea salt, and aromatic caraway seeds. This traditional method relies on the cabbage's natural moisture to form its own brine, creating a probiotic-rich food that can be preserved for months in the refrigerator.

🍳 烹飪流程
Weigh the cabbage and measure out 2.5% of its weight in non-iodized sea salt. → Slice the cabbage, discard the core, and save a few large outer leaves. → Toss the cabbage with salt and massage it thoroughly several times over 2 hours to extract its natural juices. → Mix in caraway seeds, pack the cabbage tightly into a clean fermentation crock, and press down until submerged under the brine. → Ferment at room temperature for 12-14 days, packing it down daily, then transfer to the refrigerator.

步驟 1
Weigh the cabbages to find the total weight in grams, which is necessary to calculate the precise amount of salt needed (2.5% of the cabbage weight).
步驟 2
Measure out the sea salt using a kitchen scale. For 3440g of cabbage, measure out approximately 86g to 89g of non-iodized sea salt.
步驟 3
Wash your hands, utensils, and mixing bowls thoroughly to maintain a clean environment for fermentation.
步驟 4
Peel off a few large, clean outer leaves of the cabbage and set them aside. These will be used later to help keep the shredded cabbage submerged under the brine.
步驟 5
Cut the cabbages into quarters and slice out the tough inner core from each piece.
材料清單
重要提醒
Always use non-iodized salt (such as sea salt, kosher salt, or pickling salt) because iodine can inhibit the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria.
Keeping your hands, utensils, bowls, and crocks clean is essential during fermentation to prevent harmful bacteria from thriving.
The ideal fermentation temperature is between 70°F and 80°F. Higher temperatures speed up fermentation but can lead to mushy kraut, while colder temperatures slow it down.
It is normal to see a white layer (Kahm yeast) form on top of the liquid during fermentation. Simply scrape it off; the submerged cabbage underneath remains safe to eat.
Once the desired sourness and crunch are reached, store the sauerkraut in the refrigerator. This slows down the fermentation process significantly and preserves it almost indefinitely.
