Simple Truth Organic Jalapeno Lime Kraut
What it is
This is a fermented cabbage product that has been infused with the flavors of jalapeno peppers and lime. The fermentation process creates a tangy and slightly sour taste, while the jalapenos add a mild heat and the lime provides a bright, citrusy note. It is a living food, meaning it contains beneficial microorganisms that develop during fermentation. The cabbage is finely shredded and mixed with the flavorings before undergoing its natural transformation.
