Libby's Sauerkraut Cans, 14.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

For centuries, people all over the world have preserved vegetables using fermentation that begins simply by adding salt. The resulting fermentation creates a by-product, lactic acid, which gives the resulting vegetable (here cabbage to sauerkraut) its characteristically tangy flavor. The lactic acid also helps preserve the product so that it can be enjoyed later. Still, the resulting "sour cabbage" or "sauerkraut" will not last beyond a few months without being hot-packed and sealed in an air-tight container. Hot-packing also stops the fermentation process right at the optimal moment to deliver a consistently delicious crispy sauerkraut. Libby's prepares its fermented cabbage by hot-packing and then canning it so the deliciously piquant and crispy sauerkraut is ready for your enjoyment when you need it! Libby's Crispy Sauerkraut begins as white cabbage that is harvested, washed and then shredded. Next it is mixed with salt and fermented creating a crunchy, crispy texture and tart sour flavor that you will love. Great straight from the package, warmed-up, as a side or as an accompaniment on sausage, hot dogs, burritos or a salad. Libby's Crispy Sauerkraut is made from white cabbage that is grown in the USA by U.S. farmers located primarily in the fertile regions of Wisconsin or Upstate New York. Harvested at its peak, our delicious cabbage is washed, shredded and then brine fermented within miles of where it is grown. For a milder eating experience, you can rinse our Crispy Sauerkraut with water or for a sweeter sauerkraut flavored with Caraway seeds - try Libby's Bavarian Sauerkraut!
