Show Sauerkraut has become such a popular popu-lar article of diet in this country that we now produce about 18,000,000 gallons gal-lons each year, the value of this amounting am-ounting to over 3 million dollars. Sauerkraut has the same chemical composition as cabbage, the principal difference being that the added salt and acid resulting from fermentation largely replace the sugar of the cabbage-. These changes make sauerkraut much more palatable than cabbage to many people and do not detract materially ma-terially from its food value. |
