What it is
This is a fermented cabbage product infused with mustard. The fermentation process gives sauerkraut its characteristic tangy flavor and crisp texture. The addition of mustard adds a subtle, zesty note that complements the sourness of the cabbage. It is typically found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores, often near other pickled or fermented foods.
