What it is
This is a fermented cabbage product with added carrots and curry spices. Fermentation is a process that uses beneficial bacteria to break down sugars in food, creating a tangy flavor and preserving the ingredients. The carrots add a subtle sweetness and color, while the curry spices provide warmth and complexity. It is a shelf-stable product that does not require refrigeration until opened.
