Pickled cabbage, also known as SAUERKRAUT (10 letters) and choucroute (10 letters), is a traditional dish made by fermenting cabbage in brine. It is a popular side dish in many countries, including Germany, France, and the United States. The fermentation process gives pickled cabbage its distinctive sour flavor and preserves it for long periods of time. Pickled cabbage is often served with meats such as pork, beef, or sausage, and can also be used to make soups and salads.
