How to Make Probiotic Pickled Cabbage at Home only 2 ingredients!
What happens here
Begin by removing the outer, damaged, or flimsy leaves from each head of cabbage. These can be discarded into a 'scrap bucket' for compost or animal feed. Then, cut out the tough inner core of the cabbage, as it is less palatable in sauerkraut. For smaller, less-dense cabbage like Brussels sprouts (which can also be used), simply chop them up.
Goal: Clean and core the cabbage heads for fermentation.
