Bubbies Sauerkraut: Naturally Fermented Three-Ingredient Kraut With Live Cultures
- Only three ingredients — cabbage, artesian well water, and salt, with nothing else on the label
- Naturally fermented — traditional lacto-fermentation with naturally present cultures, not a vinegar shortcut
- No sugar, vinegar, or preservatives — the tang comes entirely from fermentation
- Raw with live cultures — never heat-processed, so the brine turns cloudy when shaken
- Non-GMO, gluten free, OU kosher — Non-GMO Project Verified, prepared in Canada
- 25 fl oz (750 mL) jar — about 13 quarter-cup servings; choose a Single, Pack of 3, or Pack of 6
How to Use
Shake the jar until the brine turns cloudy, then serve the kraut cold or gently warmed. Pile it on a Reuben with corned beef and Swiss, spoon it beside bratwurst, hot dogs, kielbasa, pierogi, or roast pork, or add a forkful to grain bowls and fish tacos as a tangy slaw. This is a live fermented food: keep it refrigerated at all times, before and after opening, and keep the cabbage under the brine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bubbies Sauerkraut contain allergens?
Bubbies Sauerkraut contains only cabbage, artesian well water, and salt, so the recipe has no wheat, dairy, egg, soy, fish, or nuts, and it is labeled gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified. Because facility statements can change between production runs, anyone managing a food allergy should read the printed label on the jar before eating.
Does Bubbies Sauerkraut need to be refrigerated?
Yes, always. This sauerkraut is raw and naturally fermented with live cultures, so it must stay refrigerated from the moment you receive it until the last forkful is eaten. Cloudy brine is normal and expected; shake the jar until cloudy before serving. Keep the cabbage submerged and use a clean fork each time.
What is the difference between Bubbies Sauerkraut and canned sauerkraut?
Most shelf-stable sauerkraut is pasteurized or acidified with vinegar, which gives a sharp, flat sourness and no live cultures. Bubbies is fermented the old-world way in salt brine only, then kept cold and never heat-treated, so it tastes cleaner and crunchier and keeps the cultures created during fermentation. That is why it lives in the refrigerator.
Where is Bubbies Sauerkraut made?
This 25 fl oz jar is prepared in Canada for Bubbies Fine Foods, the California company that has made fermented pickles and kraut since 1982. It follows the same traditional recipe as the rest of the Bubbies fermented range: cabbage, artesian well water, and salt, with no vinegar, sugar, or preservatives. The jar is OU kosher and gluten free.
