What it is
A staple side dish in Ukrainian cuisine, consisting of thinly shredded cabbage naturally fermented with salt and sometimes caraway seeds. It offers a tangy, crunchy texture and is excellent for gut health.
Key ingredients
Cabbage, salt, caraway seeds (optional).
Optional tweaks
Confirm that no sugar has been added during the fermentation process (unlikely for traditional Ukrainian kvashena kapusta, but good to verify with the restaurant). Request it served plain or with a drizzle of olive oil, without any sugary dressings.
Watch out for
While traditional sauerkraut is keto, some commercial or modern preparations might add sugar to balance the tartness. Ensure it is plain fermented cabbage.
