CWDD: Cabbage & Sauerkraut

[Jeremy Bevard]

A 19th century family living on a farm would need to know how to store their nutritious cabbage crop. It’s important since it would help them get through the lean winter months. In this episode, we learn from Debra Reid, Curator of Agriculture and the Environment at The Henry Ford, how to do this. One aspect of that storage would be to convert the raw cabbage into flavorful sauerkraut! She walks us through the how, what, and why of sauerkraut making.
