sauerkraut
Tangy pickled cabbage
Sauerkraut is finely shredded cabbage fermented in its own juice with salt.
The fermentation produces a sour, tangy flavor and extends preservation.
A staple of German cuisine, it appears alongside sausages, pork, and in Reuben sandwiches: I'll have the bratwurst with sauerkraut.
