Hi Paul,
Thanks for the information. I will see whether I can get some on my side. That cabbage seems quite a good fermentation food.

If I was making something and had one, but not the other, I’d not hesitate to use sauerkraut for the flavor profile. Note: they look nothing like one another, so if looks are a consideration, you’ll have to figure that out. Elaine – thank you so much for such an outstanding blog. Many of my, and my family’s, favorite recipes come from your site.
