Comments

"Sauerkraut juice is loaded with vitamin C that has been leached from the cabbage. It's a little too strong for most people's tastes to drink straight but 3 parts tomato juice and 1 part kraut juice is quite zesty and makes a fine Bloody Mary. A little bit in the soup would be good too". From Jim
