Calling our Pickled Planet kraut a live sauerkraut is a way of saying we don’t kill the little guys who do all the heavy lifting. These guys are full of living lactic acid bacteria who preserve, enhance, and super charge the cabbage and other veggies. In a cold environment, like your refrigerator, the lactic bacteria lie dormant while hosting on the cabbage, preserving it for you, for about a year.
The words live food and raw food are both used frequently by many people to describe what ever their perception of them is. Both theoretically contain enzymes because raw food refers to un-cooked food, and enzymes cannot tolerate high heat.
Live food refers to food that is some how woken up. Think of seed soaked to become sprouts. Pickled Planet Kim Chee contains vegetables colonized with lacto bacteria. Not only do these guys preserve the cabbage, but they promote healthy intestinal flora when you eat our live sauerkraut regularly.
Great Plain Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut the old school way. We shred fresh cabbage with our high grade salt and let the little guys do the rest. Great with so many things we lost track…let us know your strangest or favorite use for the all American original. The quarterback of kraut!

Kim Chee
Our hybrid take on the tradition with carrots, daikon radish, ginger, garlic, and some heat. Fermented as long as Sauerkraut is and using regular cabbage, this is a marvelous marriage of the two traditions
"Put the zing in your zen!"

Beat Kraut
One of our best selling and most versatile sauerkrauts. We have combined fresh red cabbage with beets, carrots, and a hint of caraway. This is great with any cheese and cracker plate, the fresh flavor and caraway clear the palate for the next course of cheese. Fantastic with red meat, lamb and a phenom in sandwiches. Makes the rubiest of reubens!

Dill E Gent
Fresh cabbage with plenty of garlic, a hint of dill and the remaining host of pickle spices like pepper corn, mustard seed, and coriander. Try this with your favorite sausage dish, potatoes, fish, or a little havarti cheese. Don’t be afraid of the dill, we experimented for years to get just the right amount for it to be a nuance instead of a nucence.

Veda Kraut
Named after the 5,000 year old Veda texts which are the basis for much of India’s traditional medicine and religion. Whole curry spices are mixed with fresh cabbage in perfect balance for a full flavor without any hot peppers, garlic, or onion. This delivers a tri-dosha (Three doshas in vedic medicine, means anyone can eat it) kraut that is the perfect condiment with an Indian meal or if you just want a little indian flavor with a western meal. Delicious served in bowl of any soup for a sour curry soup. Try it with a plain squash soup and you’ll taste what we mean. Namaste!

Velvet Sea
Our nod to all things Japaneses and oh so delicious, mmm… We combine fresh cabbage with burdock (known as gobo in the land of the red sun), fresh diced ginger, and two kinds of Japanese sea weed, hijiki and arame. The slaw that results is great with fish, in salads, a side dish with most meals, a solo snack, or of course in a sandwich. Don’t be surprised if you’re reaching for the Sea more than twice a week and be glad. You’ll be healthy and wise with a belly full of naturally beneficial pro-biotics. Relax and Enjoy.
