Sour cabbage is a full head of cabbage, core removed, that has been fermented in a salt brine. It is a traditional Eastern European food, commonly used to make cabbage rolls. Cabbage rolls are an important food for family celebrations, Christmas and Easter.
Sauerkraut is made of shredded cabbage, mixed with salt. The salt helps draw out the natural juices of the cabbage, creating a brine in which the cabbage ferments. It is a traditional food from Germany and much of Europe, commonly eaten with meats, especially pork, to aid with digestion.
