Ingredients
Instructions
-
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and set them aside.
-
Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into ribbons.
-
Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl. Add the sea salt, turmeric powder, ginger, and black peppercorns.
-
Using clean hands, massage the cabbage mixture for about 5-10 minutes until the cabbage starts to release its liquid and becomes wilted.
-
Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean glass jar, pressing down firmly to remove any air bubbles.
-
Pour any remaining liquid from the bowl into the jar, making sure the cabbage is fully submerged. Top up with water if needed.
-
Take the reserved outer cabbage leaves and tuck them over the top of the cabbage in the jar to keep it submerged.
-
Seal the jar loosely with a lid or cloth secured with a rubber band. Place the jar in a cool, dark place to ferment for 5-7 days.
-
Check daily to ensure the cabbage remains submerged and taste the progress of fermentation.
-
After 5-7 days, taste the kraut for desired tanginess. Remove outer leaves, secure the lid tightly, and store in the refrigerator.
-
Enjoy as a condiment, in salads, sandwiches, or as a probiotic snack.
