What it is
This is fermented cabbage, a traditional food made by allowing shredded cabbage to sit in its own brine. The fermentation process creates a tangy, slightly sour flavor and a crisp texture. It is a simple food, relying on natural processes for its preservation and taste. This package contains 16 ounces of the prepared product, ready for use in various dishes.
