Nutritional values

The lactic acid in sauerkraut stabilizes our intestinal flora by protecting useful microorganisms and inhibiting harmful ones. As the intestine is an important component of the body's immune system, a healthy intestinal flora helps to defend against disease.

You don't like cooking with alcohol? Then take naturally cloudy apple juice as a cider substitute. And especially fat-conscious soup lovers reach for the less rich sour cream instead of sour cream.
