I have been using Sauerkraut for a while. I make it myself at home. It works out great and we love it. Wonder what are other foods in addition to Sauerkraut I can try. Kimchi is one but I am completely vegetarian. All ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

My wife is from a German ethnic area of PA so we have sauerkraut often with sausage and with pork loin. She grew up north and west of Bird-in-Hand, Blue Ball, and Intercourse (all actual town names in the area lol).

Kefir comes to mind as a number of folks here have talked about it.

Apparently there are lots of fermented foods and many of which I've never heard of:

I like kimchi and sauer kraut and just haven't got around to making them. I will buy some kimchi when I hit the big Asian market soon. I really want to try Natto and will be looking for that too. You need some to make it. It is not high sodium and is nothing but fermented soy beans. It is time consuming to make. Sodium is a problem for me and it is not salted.

I have been eating lots of yogurt and kefir since diagnosed but I would like some other fermented foods without dairy to throw in the mix.

Kimchi is vegetarian as far as I know. You can ferment pickles or ginger ale, salsa, kombucha tea.. I eat a lot of fermented foods. Never been a fan of kraut. I haven't heard of a lot of stuff on that list either.

i know i've posted this site before but they have a lot of recipes that are cultured and fermented
www.culturesforhealth.com/

I like it. I've bought cultures there.

I consume fermented cod liver oil as well as kombucha and sauerkraut. I used to consume kefir and yogurt as well but I moved to "America's Dairy Land" and can no longer buy raw milk.

I make sauerkraut, ginger brew, pickles, beet kvass, and a bunch of other stuff. I purchased a fermentation book off amazon and realized that I can almost ferment and jar any veggie..

Here's the book if anyone is interested: http://tinyurl.com/kkneus3
