My jar is fizzing or has leaked. Is this normal?
Superkraut contains live, friendly bacteria which need to be kept chilled to make them sleepy. Hissing, bubbling and fizzing are all normal when you take it out of the fridge. Due to the wild nature of Superkraut, leakage may happen during transit. The products sometimes continue to ferment during transit, when temperature fluctuates, producing extra liquid. As the jars are so packed full of sauerkraut, there is no room for expansion, and this inevitably causes it to leak. Please open your jar over the sink when it arrives (to normalise the environment again), put lid back on and rinse the jar under cold water before storing in the fridge. This may seem strange if you are new to active, unpasteurised sauerkraut but is normal and safe to eat.

How long do the jars last opened/unopened?
Once opened, the jars can last around 2 months as long as no new bacteria is introduced to the jars. Please always make sure you use a clean fork (no double dipping).

What does Superkraut taste like?
Traditional sauerkraut is vinegar and sour tasting. Our multi-award-winning Superkraut range is very different. They are much fresher tasting and have a crunchier texture. Each flavour is unique. The Turmeric and Ginger Superkraut tastes like ginger without being too overpowering. The Supergreens with Spirulina has notes of fennel and garlic. The Red Hot Firekraut is a spicy one and is like a great tasting, white cabbage kimchi with a kick.

How much should I eat?
If you are new to eating fermented foods, it is best to start small, as your stomach may need an adjustment period. We suggest starting off with a forkful per day for a few days to get your gut used to all the goodness. You can then start to increase your intake. A typical serving is a couple of forkfuls per meal. If you have a pre-existing medical condition and are unsure whether you can eat fermented foods, please consult your Doctor.

How do I store my Superkraut?
Please ensure you store your jars in the fridge, in order to keep the product cold and keep the friendly bacteria sleepy. Superkraut is a chilled product.
