As you look through this blog and across the Biotta website, you'll find many pages giving information about the health benefits of sauerkraut and its juice. I found an interesting article online today that shows just how historic sauerkraut's health benefits stretch back.
Back in the late 18th Century, Captain James Cook was one of the most prominent explorers in the world. He would take crews of men out to sea months at a time. One thing that made him a successful captain was his emphasis on the crew's diet. Captain Cook stopped anywhere that he could find to buy fruits and vegetables for his crew because he knew that healthy eating would lead to more success at sea. He discovered that eating sauerkraut and drinking the juice could actually prevent scurvy!
Now, although scurvy isn't much of a health concern today, it is interesting to see just how long people have known about the health benefits found in sauerkraut juice! Today, sauerkraut has been linked to helping prevent cancer, to building immunity, to helping in digestion.
