Wondering if anyone here can safely eat real lacto-fermented sauerkraut or its juice (the one naturally fermented without vinegar or any other ingredients added, just cabbage and salt)?
I can't find it on any HFI or FM lists online.
Thanks!

Interesting you mention this. Another source of vitamin C. I get cravings for kraut too. Usually in winter. Again.. is my body telling me what it needs? Vitamin C ? I think so. Kraut was a source of C for inlanders or people who did not have access to citrus.
I buy kraut but make sure no sugars are added. I tend to rinse it in water with a strainer. I will eat plain without warming because it was already cooked when it was canned. Plus the vinegar would reduce botulism. Or I might cook it with hot dogs or sausage. But then you have to watch for additives and hidden sugars in the hot dogs. Susan

I am fine with kraut. There are some sweetened varieties, so avoid those, but the brands that taste like pickles illicit no reaction out of me.
I put kraut on Hebrew National Hot Dogs. Delicious.

I can eat a plain raw sauerkraut made by Alexander Valley Gourmet. They are a local company located only 20 mins from my home.

The only cabbage I can tolerate is the green parts of the leaves, (no stalks not veins in the leaves) white cabbage is a definite no for me and that is the same for all sauerkraut I have tried. I used to eat pickled red cabbage but find now this is too sweet for me too now.  |

I've found german sauerkraut in my grocery that did have added fructose to the kraut. It tastes VERY sweet and includes a sweetener on the label (tastes like sweet pickles). I often wonder what recipes they are using when they breakdown the fructose on some of these sites.
