{"product_id":"sauerkraut-with-pickled-persian-cucumbers","title":"Sauerkraut with Pickled Persian Cucumbers","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou might not expect it at first glance, but Trader Joe’s Sauerkraut with Pickled Persian Cucumbers is a paragon of pickling innovation and tradition. The innovation? We’ve added pickles – Persian Cucumbers, to be exact. We’ve sliced them into thin rounds, lending extra texture to the kraut and providing just a little yummy pickle flavor. The tradition? This is Sauerkraut like your great grandma used to make. That means all-natural fermentation. No vinegar added. No lab cultures to kick-start the process. No cooking or pasteurization. It’s just raw cabbage and cucumbers with some sea salt and garlic. The salt draws water from the fruit and veggies (cucumbers = fruit; cabbage = veg) creating brine in which ‘good’ bacteria convert carbs into lactic acid, a natural preservative that inhibits ‘bad’ bacteria growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat lactic acid is also behind the tart and tangy flavor (more subtle than vinegary versions) and the extra crispy crunch of our cabbage-cuke blend. Top your Organic Beef Hot Dogs. Build a better Reuben. Mix it with grated carrots and red onion for a swell slaw. Consider it a ready-made side salad. Like great grandma used to say, “If you’re in a pickle, stay cool as a cucumber and reach for the fermented cabbage.” She never said that? Are you sure?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate's Crates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832705843242,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/8348\/2666\/files\/webp-1280_23b42a71-4224-40d4-a54b-5c18f5f1e226.webp?v=1763155081","url":"https:\/\/katescrates.myshopify.com\/products\/sauerkraut-with-pickled-persian-cucumbers","provider":"Kate's Crates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
