Global Sauerkrauts Market Definition
Sauerkraut is the fermented food resulting from the natural lactic acid fermentation of salted, shredded cabbage. It is prepared from chopped cabbage and fermented which offers a sour and crisp texture to it. Sauerkraut is the food that China invented before the Germans really embraced and marketed it.
