>DIY Sauerkraut because most store-bought versions are pasteurized or cost an arm and leg>research optimal probiotics window>realize probiotics are a meme if you have a healthy gutLiterally no point in making it, if you want kraut just buy the pasteurized stuff, if you want krautsalat you can just make it fresh and skip the extra effort, stink and waiting.
>>21974056>>realize probiotics are a meme if you have a healthy gutit can still aid digestion and probiotic bacteria will still produce more nutrients that you can end up absorbing during digestion too>the pasteurized stuffit's mushy and loses some flavor from being cooked. it's still okay for some uses but not always a good substitute.do you really like sauerkraut or were you just wanting to eat it for supposed health benefits?
>>21974056still a good source for vitamin c and tastes good
>>21974085Idk I just buy it now and then spontaneously, but making it myself was for the probiotic effects. The mushy version is still OK. Maximum lactobacillus concentration is 5-7 days into fermentation so mine is still quite crispy.>>21974110There's also the claim that lactobacillus helps with microplastics removal https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304389425005837
>>21974155>There's also the claim that lactobacillus helps with microplastics removalThat's cool and all but the thing that makes probiotics a meme is that your stomach kills almost of that bacteria when you eat it. Eating cabbage is good for your gut bacteria because your gut bacteria feeds on the fiber in it, that's called prebiotics. The thing that isn't a meme is prebiotics, aka eat more fiber and less sugar so you feed the good bacteria already in your gut and starve the shitty bacteria already in your gut. Intestinal demographic gentrification.
>>21974159there are probiotic bacteria that don't die from stomach acid. bacteria in yogurt was shown to still be active after being pooped out.
I guess if you don't care for taste and crunchiness you can go for the canned stuff. Only retards care for the probiotic aspect of sour kraut.
>>21974155the study that caused the recent microplastics panic was a flawed study and most of the microplastics they found came from the rubber gloves the researchers were wearing while handling the samples
>>21974230IFLS
>Giga cheap tinned sauerkraut seems to be discontinued in all stores It was by far the tastiest and crunchiest one of all commercial ones as well
>>21974266Just the like the studies that find probiotics ineffective kek
>>21974056>realize probiotics are a meme if you have a healthy gutMost people could go their whole life without needing "probiotics" simply by cutting artificial sweeteners from their diet.
>>21974222I miss the 40's when sour Krauts had anti-biotic tendencies.But for reals. It's largely lactobacillus. If you want the gut bugs, there's always yogurt.
>>21974170Has that been shown for sauerkraut?
>>21974056I............ HATE............. SAUERKRAUT!
>>21976064yep... several of the lactobacillus bacteria, and occasionally some of the yeasts
>>21974056I will keep my mold killer 5000
>>21974056>just buy the pasteurized stuff, If the quality wasn't dubious, or outright tainted, there would be zero need. Defeats the fermented nutritional point-- and being high Vitamin C (sensitive to heat), it's getting annihilated in pasteurization, removing yet another freshness/shelf stability factor.
