Golden Beet Sauerkraut

Recipe Description:

This is one of the first recipes for cultured vegetables my family would eat. If you haven’t had golden beets you are in for a treat. I think they taste like sunshine!

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 1 gallon

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

3 to 4 golden beets( I love these they taste like sunshine)

1 head of cabbage purple or green

1/2 apple

1 inch ginger peeled

veggie-culture-starter or 1/2 cup kefir whey

Recipe Instructions:

Add culture package to a glass gallon jar according to instructions. ( I just place starter in a cup, feed it about 1 tsp. sugar to wake it up and add 1/2 cup of water. Stir till dissolved. Then let it sit while I chop my vegetables ) Or you can add 1/2 cup of kefir whey instead.

Peel and shred all items and place in jar.

Fill with water and cap jar. Let sit for 6 days on your counter out of the sunlight.

Place in refrigerator. They will ferment in the fridge too and taste even better. Cultured veggies last at least 9 months or longer in your fridge.

Can I use red beets if I can’t find the yellow? And do I have to add sugar because I don’t eat sugar?

Yes! They will still be tasty. The sugar is only to wake up the starter culture and will be completely consumed by the live bacteria before you eat it. There won’t be any left in the end product.
