Directions

Step 1: Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, add cabbage and sprinkle all over with Mayan Sea Salt. With clean hands, massage salt into cabbage for 4 to 5 min. When there is about ½ cup of liquid in the bottom of the bowl, stir in sugar, Yellow Mustard Seeds, Dutch Blue Poppy Seeds, and Ground Coriander Seeds.

Step 2: Ferment

Transfer cabbage and liquid to a large, sterilized mason jar. Use a large spoon to press the cabbage down so it is completely submerged in liquid. Top jar with a sterilized, airtight lid and let ferment in a cool, dark place for 8 to 10 days. Sauerkraut will begin to bubble after 4 to 5 days.

As needed, press down cabbage so that it is always submerged in liquid. After fermenting and when the flavor is to your liking, store in refrigerator for up to 6 months.
