People Who’ve Made This
“Bratwurst just isn’t the same without this sauerkraut. I make a batch every month or so and share it with my friends.”
“Ok, so let me start off by saying I’ve done the probiotic dance with a lot of sauerkraut in my day, but I hands down have to admit Spice Science Sauerkraut is one of the best I’ve ever had. Truly top tier sauerkraut. It is tangy without being overpowering. It has a garlic flavor, which I never knew I needed in my sauerkraut and now I don’t know if I can do without. On top of all that, there’s a little kick of heat which is 100% DANK CITY. There isn’t a hot dog in the world that wouldn’t want to be adorned with this beautiful cabbage crown. Thank you Spice Science Sauerkraut for helping me live my best life!” – Kelsey Roberson
