Today we bring you the recipe of the sauerkraut so that you can do it at home, since it is a healthy food for our intestine because it is a natural probiotic, and it can not be easier to do!

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cabbage
- 2 tablespoons of sea salt

Recipe:
- Wash the cabbage well, cut one of the outer leaves and reserve it.

- Place the cabbage in a large bowl and add the salt.

- Let it stand for an hour and then remove the broth that has come out.

- Close the jar well and leave it in a dark place for 15 days to ferment.


- Do not fill the whole boat because when fermenting, it will release liquid and if it does not have space, it can get out of the jar.
