Sauerkraut is a traditional dish in Slovakia, as well as in many other Central and Eastern European countries. It is made from finely sliced cabbage that has been fermented with lactic acid bacteria, creating a tangy and sour flavor. The cabbage is then seasoned with salt, caraway seeds, and other spices. It is often served as a side dish with roasted meats, sausages, or served as a filling for dumplings. Sauerkraut is also a popular ingredient in many traditional Slovakian soups and stews. It is known for its health benefits, as the fermentation process enhances the nutrient content of the cabbage and improves its digestion.
