I've been a 'holistic' guy for decades, and I love, love, love sauerkraut. Your suggestions are really good on various ways to use sauerkraut. I already do some of those ideas, but you also came up with some tips that I'll definitely keep in mind. Thanks a lot.
I love sauerkraut, I've eaten it since childhood! My favourite combinations are 1. with baked/fried fish 2. with pan fried chicken liver and 3. with a ham sandwich EDIT: I forgot that it also goes amazingly well with sausages and hot dogs :)
I put sauerkraut on top of my roasted veggie and potatoes, takes them up another notch. I also love sauerkraut in all my beans, chorizo, with hard boiled eggs, pickle my eggs in the brine, add to scrambled eggs, and put in my smoothies.
I eat fermented sauerkraut in my tuna salad with MCT oil, or with beef, Salman, or egg's over easy with a beef patty, or in a vegetable and chicken stock soup...I rarely eat carbs.
I love sauerkraut, I put it on everything. My son has decided he doesn’t like it so I’m now a stealthy mom and I’ll put spoonfuls of sauerkraut juice over his food after it’s dished and cooling. He always rants about how good food is. Lol. My husband loves my homemade kimchi the same way. I find I need to just consciously make a big jar of sauerkraut the first week of every month or I run out. Thanks for sharing. ☮️❤️☕️
That's actually kinda of shitty ! A table spoon or tea spoon of it when served would be better and truthful . I'm old (64) and that's the way my father open up our kid tastes buds to adult tastes . He gave my brothers n sister A TASTE of things on our plates , and we HAD to eat it . Don't sneak anything , make them them (try it n eat it) . Many things my father MADE us eat are now some of my favorite things .
@@davidkreutzer4778 my son has autism and was adopted out of a meth house. It’s not often he can except things that are good for him. He came to us malnourished with a failure to thrive dx, detoxing from meth. I work hard at building his nutritional foundation. If I have to be a bit subversive to do it so be it. Your relationship with your father began much differently than ours did. I’m glad you had that. Peace. K.
@@FieldFarmForest , there you go your clarifying of the circumstances changes everything . Thank you 👍 I know kinda of what your going thru , my wife and I have our grandson and he too is autistic . Pretty badly and we just got him from his parents , he's 16 and it's a real chore from "normal" kids/young adults . By the way it wasn't just me but my brother and sister . We had to eat what was for dinner , and we had 20 minutes to eat , and there where plenty i have never eaten since leaving home . When we got married i told my wife if you ever make this or that . Your out the door 😂
Hi from the UK, I've just had two jars of organic natural raw sauerkraut delivered because I know it good for the stomach (gut) and I now lnow what to eat it with, thanks.
Oh my goodness great ideas! I am making saurkraut right now and your 3 year old video is timely to say the LEAST!! ❤🙏 Thank you so much for all your ideas 😊
I like it in my ramen- so good. Agree 100% on soup... just have to make sure you are not boiling it with the soup. Hubby hates cabbage of all stages so I do sneak it in and when he does not know, he loves it!
I make a Chinese Restaurant style Hot and Sour Soup, using kraut and it's juice as the sour ingredient. Just make sure to add it at the very end. Never let it boil once you add it. In fact, take it off heat several minutes before adding it. Otherwise, it seems to lose acidity. As well as a certain "nuance". Which l can't really put my finger on. If it gets too hot it becomes more salty/sweet than sour/savory.
Is there a particular reason that people typically use sauerkraut with meats? Is it a matter of taste or for some special digestion chemistry of the combination?
Everyday I mix and eat two heaping tablespoons of raw sauerkraut with garlic, one tablespoon of fermented shredded beets, and a tablespoon of diced white onions.
Great info! I just started eating it about a week ago. I didn't know how much to eat so I have about 100grams first thing in the morning, before anything. I have to say that I feel more regular just after a week. I've tried adding himalaya salt - pepper, siracha, cooked spam (nice), chili sauce, tomato sauce, soy sauce, aioli.. It still tastes horrendous.
I know cooking sauerkraut kills the probiotics but I'm a bit confused. Does eating it alongside cooked food also kill the probiotics? I also know vinegar kills it. Does that mean I can't eat apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar with the same meal?
I just started eating this stuff and i think it Helps my crohns disease, its really not nice though, i have a sweet tooth, im going to stick with it, i think the coleslaw idea might work
I watched this while eating sauerkraut on some spicy sausages I had just made. I felt like a really idiot when 30 seconds in you said cooking it will kill the probiotics lol. Thanks for the videoZ
i eat sauerkrat a little but i can only handle a couple of bites it is so sour but i now add a little sugar sub to it to calm down the sour part a little and that helped a lot
It causes gas and bloating if you're not used to it, because of bacteria, so I think yes, you should expect that. But it also helps your gut repopulate with friendly lacto bacteria and if you take it slowly and start with a really small amount, like a teaspoon daily and increase it slowly, it won't cause any issues.
I love my sauerkraut, but after a few days of eating it, my teeth start to feel like there’s cavities in them. It goes away when I stop eating it for a few days. Not sure what to do about it. Thanks for your video though 😄
It's so individual, so it's impossible for me to say! Only your body can tell you what is the right amount for you right now :) We usually eat around a TBSP or two per meal, but sometimes we feel like more or less.
I'm just making sauerkraut for the very first time so this was good timing!😄 I bloat and get asthma after eating starchy foods, do you know if eating sauerkraut might help? How much? With every meal? Just the juice from the kraut if it's less harsh on the gut? Thanks!😊
Sauerkraut definitely helps with restoring the healthy balance of gut bacteria! If you're new to it, you'll want to work up the amount gradually, but you can eat it with every meal. If you struggle with diarrhea, you can do just the juice. :)
Can anyone explain what to do, when you run out of liquid? Do I add salty water and leave jar outside for few weeks again to ferment? In that way it would be good if I had 2 jars - on to use and the other to ferment, right?
I usually add a little more salt and some more water as needed, and let it sit out for a few days. If you're using mostly liquid, you can make a probiotic cabbage tonic instead. I will do a video on how to do this soon, and there are directions in Dr. Becky Plotner's book. Hope that helps!
Some of the probiotics are destroyed if you heat it, but it's still beneficial and tasty :) There are times when I will use it in a warm/hot dish, but I mostly eat it raw.
I love sauerkraut! The reason I'm watching this video is, I'm literally sitting here eating it straight out of the can for lunch. Lol Figured I'd watch a vid to make sure, before reaching the point of no return, that l wasn't gonna regret it if l eat the whole can!
All my life I ate sauerkraut out of a can or bottle. I am now approaching 80 and no longer eat store bought kraut. I have been making my own and love it. Before I made it, I probably ate it 5 or 6 times a year. Now I eat it almost every day. I may soon have to join Sauerkraut Anonymous. Reading about the benefits added to a taste I’d come to love. Compared to taking a probiotic tablet it makes no sense. Fermented foods are gut gold. We are having a Family Fellowship at church soon and am planning on bringing Meatballs and Sauerkraut. Yummy!

Hash brown patty topped with sauerkraut and a fried egg for breakfast.

EDIT: I forgot that it also goes amazingly well with sausages and hot dogs :)
That all sounds delicious!
I totally love it with fresh cottage cheese or sour cream! But I will have to wait a bit to introduce the dairy products ;)
I love it with kielbasa. Also its good with country style ribs and potatoes yummm! Oh and of course a hot dog with Dijon mustard.
i need it on a hot dog or chicken sausage link right now.. omg so good
I put sauerkraut on top of my roasted veggie and potatoes, takes them up another notch. I also love sauerkraut in all my beans, chorizo, with hard boiled eggs, pickle my eggs in the brine, add to scrambled eggs, and put in my smoothies.

Dude. This. Try swapping it for kimchi in the tuna salad. Holy CRAP!
I just discovered eggs and saurkraut with brown mustard.... I love it!!!!!!
Sounds yummy!

It’s wonderful on top of avocado toast with fresh ground pepper on top….so yum

Hers one for you. Much earlier in life I used to eat peanut butter and sauerkraut sandwiches! I think I'll have one today.
Sounds like a good thing to try!

A local favorite is Hawaiian pizza with sauerkraut called the flying hawaiian.
Where are you from?
Baking sausage and adding some sauerkraut in there too, never thought of putting the brine in stock tyvm.
Fab info thanks
I actually tried it with greek yoghurt.....crazy combination I know but I was out of fruits for breakfast 😉
Haha I can't believe you 😂
Honestly I've come up with some of the best recipes by not having a lot of ingredients but being forced to combine them for flavor!
So informative. I've learnt a lot from your explanation! this is super helpful thanks!
Such smart ideas!! ❤
I'm a sauerkraut n00b, so this gave me some great ideas. Many thanks!
You're welcome :)
I like to mix sauerkraut into spaghetti noodles or any kind of pasta.
I know cooking sauerkraut kills the probiotics but I'm a bit confused. Does eating it alongside cooked food also kill the probiotics?
I also know vinegar kills it. Does that mean I can't eat apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar with the same meal?
I just bought some waffel towels to try out if I like them I'll be back to buy more thanks so much waiting on my order
So exciting!
Tuna salad great idea!
Thanks for your help with eating sauerkraut with other food,I always eat my with organic hotdogs,
You're welcome! Yum, that's delicious :)
I hot some in a jar from Aldi, is that any good?
Can I add sauerkraut along with beetroot, carrot, and apple and blend and drink as a juice?
I just started eating this stuff and i think it Helps my crohns disease, its really not nice though, i have a sweet tooth, im going to stick with it, i think the coleslaw idea might work
Good for you! Your tastes will change as the fermented foods change your gut flora :)
I mix it into my buddha bowls. That way the taste just blends with everything else.
I just cut up a hot dog because I don't eat bread and put the hot dog on top of the sauerkraut same thing as having a hot dog sandwich minus the bun 😊
Trying sauerkraut for the first time, helpful video !
I call it chucrut .
Chucrut taste so!! good with black beens , some salty cheese with a salsa (🍅, 🌶️, Salt and garlic) in a 🌮.
Sounds so good!
OH 😮!!!Thanks Manuel 👍🏿!!It just so happens I have black beans, cheese, salsa and sauerkraut.
Thanks for the info, very helpful.
You're welcome! Glad it could help :)
Very Helpful
I watched this while eating sauerkraut on some spicy sausages I had just made. I felt like a really idiot when 30 seconds in you said cooking it will kill the probiotics lol. Thanks for the videoZ
It's okay, they're still beneficial even if killed by heat, just not as powerful as when raw :) Sounds delicious!
@@bumblebeeapothecary thank you for the reply and for your content!
Can sauerkraut be added in soups...
Thank you for all the options.
You're welcome! :)
Mixed in with chili is good
So you need to buy jared sauerkraut that hasn't been pasturized for it to be "live and probiotic"?
Thanks. Very informative.
You're welcome!
I love it Thanks
I like my saurkraut with, basically any kind of sausage, no buns, keto style, mustard, and to drink, kefir.
You mention sauerkraut chocolate cake. I've had that and it is good!
It really is! :)
My dad made it for me with slow cooked venison. It was the best thing I ever had 😂
I like it with collards and bacon.
Yum!
Sauerkraut sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds is good.
Yum! Thanks for sharing!
i eat sauerkrat a little but i can only handle a couple of bites it is so sour but i now add a little sugar sub to it to calm down the sour part a little and that helped a lot
why don,t you rinse it instead of adding sugar.
Hot dogs pork chops rubin's and sausages and many more is my fave
Thank you so much, I’ve got to get some kraut into me, but I’m just not a fan. You’ve inspired me!
Great info
Thank you!
Do you think this is as good as having vinegar on your veg
It's different, but I find that both vinegar and sauerkraut help to stimulate stomach acid production :)
I have it for breakfast with bacon and eggs.
I bought saurkraut from the store. Came in a can. Is it still effective or no? I would really appreciate a response. Thank you :)
I'm happy to help! Canned sauerkraut doesn't have the live probiotic bacteria in it, so it doesn't really help with friendly bacteria.
@@bumblebeeapothecary dang it. Ok thanks for the response 🙏
I've got Polish pasteurised in a jar does that still have biotics? 😕
Does heating sauerkraut effects the benefits?
Yes, heat will kill the probiotics.
Does anyone else think only of Schitts Creek when you see the word Apothecary
Yes and makes me think of Alexis!
3:02 You don't add it to the chocolate cake itself. You had it to the chocolate ICING. It's called German Chicolate Cake.
That's very interesting! I heard of it being added to the cake itself. Good to know about the icing as well!
Good video. If eating steamed or raw cabbage causes bloating/gas for me, should I expect the same reaction from sauerkraut?
It causes gas and bloating if you're not used to it, because of bacteria, so I think yes, you should expect that. But it also helps your gut repopulate with friendly lacto bacteria and if you take it slowly and start with a really small amount, like a teaspoon daily and increase it slowly, it won't cause any issues.
🙂 good info.
Delicious as a side with shepherds pie 🙂
Good idea! :)
is only homemade saurkraut probiotic?
You can buy raw probiotic sauerkraut in health food stores, homemade is usually more therapeutic than store bought :)
I love my sauerkraut, but after a few days of eating it, my teeth start to feel like there’s cavities in them. It goes away when I stop eating it for a few days. Not sure what to do about it. Thanks for your video though 😄
Someone recommended eating only 2 table spoon, 2 or 3 times per week, no more.
@@aliciateran8839 Who is this someone? That's not very scientific.
You mentiond how much to eat maximaly or when to be cautious. But how much should you eat to be shure you're getting most or all of the benefits?
It's so individual, so it's impossible for me to say! Only your body can tell you what is the right amount for you right now :) We usually eat around a TBSP or two per meal, but sometimes we feel like more or less.
Thankyou 💓🏋️♂️
You're welcome! :)
What about chips
4:30 five gallons of sauerkraut?!?! Holy moley!
Its crazy!!!!...
First time I make it im gone crazy
I can eat with everything except with thai.
The taste is ghooooooddd...
Good work Marisa
I love that stuff. I put in on everything! I put it up on top of my head! 🫠
Wow,so many ways to eat it. Thank you 🙏
There sure is! You're welcome :)

Sauerkraut simmered with pork ribs, an apple chopped and caraway seed.

What is the best sauerkraut to buy from the grocery store?
There are several good brands; we like Oregon Brineworks and WildBrine.

I eat mine with a fork, yummy
Please stop. I'm starving. lol.
You're really reaching for ideas.
I’ll pass on the dead animal parts thanks.
WHY for gawd's sake would you eat sauerkraut with sausage or bacon when those two meats are HORRIBLE for your health???!!!
Just yaps for minutes,…does t list the foodd
I like it was raw human flesh.
