Make natural nutrition-packed sauerkraut and pickled vegetables with this stoneware crock pot from Germany.
Through the years, sauerkraut has been recognized as one of the healthiest foods and was even used on sailing ships to protect sailors from scurvy.
Natural lactic acid fermentation is one of the oldest and healthiest means of food preservation.
It allows natural, beneficial bacteria to perform a fermentation process in which vegetables develop a pleasantly sour taste and remain rich in vitamins and minerals.
Lactic acid fermentation is the only method of preservation that retains all the natural plant ingredients while improving the quality, taste, and aroma.
