While the deliciously tart flavor of sauerkraut may conjure up cravings for Oktoberfest, brats and beer, this finely-cut fermented cabbage is versatile enough to enjoy year-round and is relished by probiotics enthusiasts.

Jarred or canned sauerkraut can be served hot or cold and is popular piled high on Reuben sandwiches and hot dogs, served as a tangy side – and as an ingredient to add zest to casseroles, soups, mashed potatoes, and more. Vons makes it easy for you to create new dishes that'll soon become old favorites.
