Wikipedia
Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut (; German: [ˈzaʊɐˌkʁaʊt] (listen), lit. "sour cabbage") is finely cut raw cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. It has a long shelf life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid formed when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage leaves. It is one of the best-known national dishes in Germany. Although in English-speaking countries it is known under its German name, it is also widely known in Eastern Europe and other places (see below). For example, in Ukraine, кисла капуста (kysla kapusta) 'sour cabbage' or Квашена капуста (kvashena kapusta) 'fermented cabbage' has been a traditional and ubiquitous dish from ancient times.

sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a traditional German dish made from finely chopped cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. This fermentation process gives it a tangy flavor and increases its nutritional value, making it rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6, and probiotics. It is often used as a condiment or side dish, and is especially popular in dishes like hot dogs, reuben sandwiches, and with pork.

Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut, directly translated: "sour cabbage", is finely cut cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria, including Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. It has a long shelf-life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid that forms when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage. Coleslaw, an unfermented dish made from fresh cabbage, may also be made with an acidic taste, but is otherwise quite different.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Sauerkraut
a favourite article of food in Germany and elsewhere in North Europe; formed of thinly sliced young cabbage laid in layers, with salt and spice-seeds, pressed in casks and allowed to ferment.

Examples of sauerkraut in a Sentence
Sauerkraut does more than give your burger a delicious flavor boost, it’s actually a good source of probiotics, aka the good bacteria that live in your gut. These bacteria contribute to the health of your gut and are essential for a healthy digestive tract and immune function. Certain things like an unhealthy diet, undue stress, or a harsh round of antibiotics can affect the balance and health of the probiotics in the stomach. So it’s important to feed your gut with natural sources of probiotics, like sauerkraut.
I was eleven years old when I went to my grandfather for advice. I said, 'Granddad, how come pussy tastes like sauerkraut?'. He looked at me and said, 'Boy, you're only eleven years old! What the heck are you doing eating sauerkraut?
