Since we have the yogurt probiotics thread going, I thought this deserved mention
From what I gather it seems superior to yogurt in terms of probiotic activity
If peopl here have tips on what to look for in sauerkraut I would appreciate it

Sauerkraut is typically pasteurized which not only makes it taste disgusting, but also kills any probiotic benefits, so, look for unpasteurized sauerkraut in the refrigerator case (usually at a health food store or Whole Foods).
Raw Kombucha(i got mine at the store) and Young Coconut Kefir (homemade) are also great for probiotics!!!

i drink/eat kombucha (you can also make this at home for super cheap, but i love GT's brand too much), coconut kefir, coconut yogurt (not supposed to have dairy), and kimchee (chinese fermented cabbage).
I have a jar of sauerkraut sitting in my fridge...haven't tried it yet... this thread just inspired me to go eat some Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
I made my SCOBY from GT's and make it at home. We drink too much kombucha to buy it, LOL. i just harvested 2 gallons the other day and it's almost gone!! We drink it in spurts .... so we don't consistently drink that much.

Six I've made many a scoby from GT's too! (sometimes by accident? ha)
What recipe do you use? For some reason I just couldn't get mine to taste like GT's! I LOOOVVEEE love love Trilogy.
Put grape juice in it one time (real grape juice not store bought) and it ended up tasting like a beer and wine hybrid!

Mine doesn't taste just like GT's, but it's good. I use a combination of green tea and black tea (three to one ratio). I use about a cup or cup and a half of sugar per gallon.
It does vary batch to batch. When it's colder out, it takes longer to process.
