Sauerkraut contains beneficial probiotics, vitamins and fiber. It is useful in the treatment of heartburn/GERD, ulcers, and it helps to lower cholesterol. Read more here...http://www.healthyfellow.com/1434/sauerkraut-health-benefits/#more-1434

Glad to hear that sauerkraut is healthy. Can't stand sauerkraut, always seem to be burping up sauerkraut for hours after I eat it. So, I avoid sauerkraut cuz I can't stand burping. I do eat coleslaw. So, if sauerkraut is healthy, I am sure coleslaw is healthy as well. I will stick with coleslaw. I don't burp up coleslaw and prefer to eat my veggies raw and fresh.

I like sauerkraut. We grow cabbage and make our own in a five gallon crock.Fermented vegetables are very healthy but, as mentioned, the salt content is high.

I like sauerkraut, and occasionally make my own in small quart-size batches. I had some of the fresh sauerkraut that is sold in the refrigerated section of the store, and added some of the brine from that to my cabbage.
Instead of chopping all that cabbage, i bought a package of cole slaw mix, so it has the red and green cabbage and some shredded carrots. It looks really pretty in the jar and it was quick and easy to make this way. It was just right to make a quart of sauerkraut, and should have lots of good probiotics in it. I try t have just a little bit for the probiotics, at least once a day.

I occasionally eat sauerkraut with chicken sausage...try to wash as much of the salt off before cooking as I can.....also love coleslaw.

Like sauerkraut, kimchee is also good for the gut. A young Korean couple we knew, gave us home-made kimchee that was very strong, but, very good. We could only eat a little at a time.

LOL - I thought it was a new thread - should have paid attention to the date.

Old thread, but the benefits of sauerkraut are still the same.
Good to eat in hot weather too.
