Re: Organic sauerkraut in U.S suggestions?

[Guest guest]

I buy my sauerkraut at Whole Foods. The brand is called Rejuvenative Foods.

Here's their website http://www.rejuvenative.com/. On the bottom of the page it

has a direct order form to order online. HTH.

Hello Tom,

I use " Eden " organic sauerkraut www.edenfoods.com

They have it at Sprouts Farmers Market(www.sprouts.com), if You are in CA, NV,

AZ, TX. Only cabbage and sea salt.

We get ours from a company called Real Pickles, based in Massachusetts. Very

expensive but excellent.

Thanks for the suggestions but, unfortunately, , I don't live near a

Whole Foods and to have that brand of sauerkraut shipped from that website in an

insulated package is $45.00. That is absolutely absurd. And niublau87, I was

going to get the Eden brand but it's heated at 175 degrees. I'm assuming that

kills many of the benefits. And , thanks, but you're right. $40.00 for 4

15 oz jars is just too expensive.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Tom,

I'll be interested in the suggestions you get but I've found that organic

sauerkraut is quite expensive. It's most economical to make your own. As

pointed out to you this morning, it's not hard and a head of cabbage is a very

inexpensive vegetable.

Does anybody know if the Eden brand is okay even if it's heated at 175 degrees?

+++Hi Tom,

If it is " heated to " less than the boiling point of water, which is 100°C

(212°F), it is okay.

You wrote heated " AT " 175 degrees F, not that the sauerkraut gets no higher than

175 degrees F in temperature.

If the source of heat is 175 F and the sauerkraut is left on it long enough it

could heat sauerkraut higher than 175 F.

Bee, it just says on the label that it is heated at 175 degrees for five minutes

and then packed. I'm assuming it's okay but would like to make sure. I wound up

finding it at a local grocery store and bought two jars.

From Wills Valley I bought 2-30 ounce jars of their " Never Pasteurized " 100 per

cent Organic Sauerkraut (over the Internet).

www.willsvalley.com

The cost was $21.50 PLUS the cost of shipping---which I learned only after the

purchase, was over $10.00 more, bringing the total to $33.45.

Indeed, it's not cheap, but I never had better.

Ken, I love Wills Valley and when I ordered by phone, they told me the

best value is when you buy 3 30-oz. jars. I guess shipping is the same for 2

or 3.

Hi

I recently saw a video showing how to make homemade raw sauerkraut. chop one

head of cabbage ,salt it, squeeze it, put it in a glass or ceramic container,

let it sit out for 5 days...then you've got organic sauerkraut for a couple

weeks.

it takes about 30 - 45 min prep but it is worth it in my opinion.

here's the link:

I hope it is okay too. Go for it!

Is there a difference between regular sauerkraut and red cabbage sauerkraut?

no, there wouldn't be. Red Cabbage sauerkraut is just made with red cabbage

instead of green cabbage.
