Is saurkraut good?

Answer 1

Raw sauerkraut is an extremely healthy food. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C, lactobacilli (even more than yogurt), and other nutrients. However, the low pH and overabundance of lactobacilli can easily upset the stomach of people who are not used to eating raw sauerkraut. Sauerkraut provided a vital source for these nutrients during the winter, especially before freezing and importation of foods from southern countries became generally available in northern and central Europe. Captain James Cook always took a store of sauerkraut on his sea voyages, since experience had taught him that it was an effective remedy against scurvy. It is now known that the preservation of sauerkraut in an anaerobic environment (under the brine) keeps the vitamin C in it from being oxidized. There is some evidence [1] that indicates that Kimchi and by extension sauerkraut may be used to treat avian influenza in birds. There is currently no evidence of its effects on humans.
Sauerkraut is also a source of biogenic amines such as tyramine, which in sensitive people can cause adverse reactions
