Benefits:
1. It contains powerful probiotics which feed the good bacteria in your gut and can help to settle many digestive issues.
2. Sauerkraut may help to boost your immune system. This is with particular thanks to the lactic acid bacteria. 1 cup also holds roughly 23% DV of your vitamin C.
3. Sauerkraut is very high in fibre, which is essential for overall health, clearing out toxins from the GI tract. It also keeps us fuller for longer, so is an essential carbohydrate for weight management.
4. Contains nutrients essential for a healthy brain.
5. Sauerkraut is rich in antioxidants and vitamin K2, which can help promote heart health by preventing calcium deposits from accumulating in the arteries.
How to use it?
1. Pair it with an egg. This is a really nice combination as the vinegary taste of the sauerkraut really compliments the sweet buttery taste of the eggy. I have it with a wee slice of toasted sourdough in the morn and I'm happy all day long.
2. Mix it through yogurt with some chopped mint and have it like a tzatziki. I find this works particularly well with some spicy falafel or with some fish.
3. Pop it on some avocado. Along the same lines as the egg pairing, this works because the avo is buttery and is lifted by something a bit acidic.
4. Sprinkle it on top of a lentil salad. I hate to sound like a stuck record, but the butteryness of lentils works well with ye old sauerkraut.
5. Stuff it into a sweet potato. I love this. Again, it's probably to do with the sweet, butttterrrryyy taste of the humble sweet potato, but it just works really well. Go wild with some added black beans and coriander for added flavyerrr and your fibre levels are popping.
