Nutritional values

Sauerkraut contains hardly any calories, is a valuable supplier of vitamin C and scores points with its abundance of lactic acid bacteria - they stimulate digestion, regenerate the intestinal flora and strengthen the immune system.

Those who do not like to bite on caraway seeds can use ground caraway - then half a teaspoon is enough.
