A simple fermented cabbage recipe packed with probiotics to boost your gut health.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
  • Filtered water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Shred the cabbage finely and place it in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle salt over the cabbage and massage it for 5-10 minutes until it releases liquid.
  3. Add garlic and caraway seeds if using, then mix well.
  4. Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean jar, pressing down to submerge it in its own liquid.
  5. If needed, add a little filtered water to cover the cabbage completely.
  6. Seal the jar loosely and let it ferment at room temperature for 3-10 days.
  7. Check daily, pressing cabbage down if needed, and taste for desired sourness.
  8. Once fermented, store in the fridge for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Use clean utensils to prevent contamination.
  • Fermentation time varies with temperature—warmer rooms ferment faster.
  • Bubbles and a tangy smell are normal signs of fermentation.
