Caraway kraut is a lacto-fermented cabbage dish that is made by combining shredded cabbage with caraway seeds and salt, and then allowing the mixture to naturally wild ferment for 21 days. During the fermentation process, beneficial bacteria known as lactobacillus convert the natural sugars in the cabbage into lactic acid, which gives the caraway kraut its characteristic tangy flavour. Caraway seeds add a sweet and nutty taste balancing out the sourness of the fermented cabbage. Caraway kraut can enhance the taste of many dishes and may offer health benefits due to its probiotics, enzymes, and anti-inflammatory properties.
