It's fixing me as well! Juicing a celery a day honestly didn't do very much but the saurkraut really works!!!!
Oh that's so great to hear Charles!
My Mom told me that my Baba, my Ukrainian Grandma ( never met her because she died when my Mom was 13) used to make sauerkraut in a barrel.
It is used in so many Ukrainian recipes or just eaten fried with kubasa.
We grew up on sauerkraut. Thanks for the recipe!!
I love this! I had a Baba too and also grew up with a bit of sauerkraut. Getting back to the basics seems to be helpful sometimes!
charming ! thank you !
You are incredible! Thank you so much for your work!!
You are most welcome! And thank you!
Loved the dance interlude!! 😊
Haha thanks! I've been hiding my mad dance skills until now 🤣
Hello Raelan! I love all your videos!! Just made the sauerkraut for the first time, thank you for sharing all the important steps. I've been suffering from bloating for a while. What would you recommend to help this problem? Thanks💗
Yay for fermented foods! I definitely notice an improvement in my health when I munch on them daily. The primary reason I make my own ferments is because the microbes in my environment and my body are the ones doing the 'work' and these are the microbes that will support my wellbeing. Storebought ferments are full of microbes that are foreign to my body. Adopting a whole-foods plants-based lifestyle without flour, sugar, oil, and alcohol has had the greatest impact on my health. Thanks for sharing your sauerkraut technique.
I appreciate that so much! Thank you ❤️
I’m going to try the apple carrot version! Looks yummy!
Awesome!! Let me know what you think of it when it's done 😀
Enjoyed the dance interlude 😆.
haha 💓
I tried eating a fermented coconut yoghurt for a few weeks but my digestion got a lot worse. Didnt really have any problems with my digestion before but I want the overall benefits. I will try the fermented vegetables and see if it makes any difference today.
I couldnt figure out who you favor then it hit me!!! Ashley Judd.... She is beautiful, so are you..Im going to make the saurkraut (sp) cant wait. Thank you for your content. Its really helped me especially when most of the content on youtube about ME/CFS is negative. I
Aw that is so kind of you to say! Thank you ☺️ And best of luck with the sauerkraut!!
Hilarious. Also made me buy quality Saurkraut. And when u did the "robot", I almost spat out my nachos 😂 !
😂😂 Oh my goodness until I read your comment here Donovan I had completely forgotten that I ever did that 🙈 Hope you are enjoying the sauerkraut! Personally I've come to really love it.
I "smashed" the like button 😂🤣
😂 Thanks!!!
Ha! I'm trying this, now!
❤️❤️❤️
Excited to show how mine works out!! LOL @ Geoffrey feeling super uncomfortable with the camera attention
Hey, Sarah!! I'm so excited for your sauerkraut too! Hahaha and yep - poor Geoffrey ends up in my footage perhaps a *teeny* bit more than he'd like 😂
@@RaelanAgle approximately how much did you consume per day? How much do you currently consume, is it less now?
Is there a place with a recepe collection of what you’re eating? That would be so helpfull.
Great idea!
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻....☀️Sunny flowers again to You, Raelan!☀️I have already made some changes in my diet during several years being ME-sick. One importantant for me is low-histamine diet among no-koffeine, no-alcohol use and instead using 🍀🌿🇫🇮the leaves we can find in the garden and the wood around 🍀🌿🇫🇮for a hot or cold 🌿🍀plant-drink/plant tea for instance; those drinks can be used as I can understand what you call fasting and so I use them to make quite a long pauses during meals; I think that has also been good for my digestion. I also use different healthy leaves from nature on sandwiches and to meals as well every day 🍀🌿.My diet has already been like low-sugar and that lowing I will continue; also fermenting and what other things - in that way I will continue! 😌
Wow Marie, this sounds amazing! I just love your natural and healthy approach to all of this. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this and beautiful sunny flowers to you too! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Raelan Agle Thank You Raelan!🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
More dance interludes! I demand at least 15 minutes of dancing next video :)
😂😂 Be careful what you wish for!
This video is amazing, thank you!
I recently discovered I have almost zero Bifidobacteria so I want to try to increase them, but its tough to figure out which strains are in which foods. Do you think it's possible to add a probiotic supplement containing them into a ferment to increase their numbers and so tailor it to your gut specifically?
Not that I'm aware of, Tom. But I'm far from an expert on this! Sounds like an intriguing idea.
@@RaelanAgle I did some research and the answer is both yes and no. You can for instance ferment milk using commercial probiotic pills, but it would not strictly be kefir. Apparently most commercial Kefir drinks don't actually use kefir grains due to complications with them multiplying during production and difficulty getting a consistent product. I don't think you can invite extra microbes into the grains as they're a self sustaining colony. As for inoculating sauerkraut, I think it might work so will give it a shot and see what happens!
Any ideas for how to "hide" it into food so my husband can eat this. He doesn't like the crunch texture, and says the juice is awful. I tried to hide a small bit in a salad and he said the salad tasted weird that night. Looking for ideas for hiding the juice into something.
Hi Raelan!! What’s your opinion on things like milk kefir and yogurt? I ask because they are probiotics but not vegan. Do you usually avoid them?
Dairy is a tricky one, isn't it? No one seems to be able to agree on it! Personally, I stay away from yoghurt just because I've read that the probiotic count is so low that it's not much help. But I do have kefir from time to time because the probiotic count is much higher and I feel it could do some good for my gut. So yes, I have been having kefir throughout my recovery! Personally I haven't had any problems with it, but I imagine that this is one that everyone will have to access for themselves 😊
hi, how much sauerkraut do you eat a day please?
Hi Raelan,
What size serving of sauerkraut do you recommend to eat each day?
Thanks
I have about a quarter of a cup and that works well for me 😊
Do I need distilled water or can I use tap water? Also is my salt unrefined if it comes in kind of “rock” form that you have to grind yourself, if that makes sense? I’m a bit nervous about making sauerkraut😭😂Thank you😊
Hey Katie! People seem to have a lot of different opinions about water. I'm not sure what the right answer is, but personally I drink tap water. Salt is also a confusing one isn't it! I'm not sure about that one.
WHAT! i did not know you could get garlic skin off like that mind blown!
Yes, you can 💓💓💓
hahaha at the outtakes! I had the worst one the other day, I was trying to explain 'fibromyalgia' to a friend during an interview and it came out as 'fibromyalgable' LOL damn you brain fog
hahaha on no!! Just go with it...pretend it's a word and that other's just don't know it 🤣
Had to re-watch the dance party part. I felt an excited nervousness and remembered: as I age I don't want to get "stuffy" so I am going to practice a daily dance party.....gently, so my heart rate doesn't go to high yet.
Very interesting tutorial. too bad I'm not a fan of sauerkraut... I love kimchi though.
Hi Sammy! I struggle a bit with kimchi because it's often too spicy for me! I'm a bit of a wimp with spice. . .
How much quantity you eating per day
Hi Raelan! Its been just over two weeks with my sauerkraut jar. I didnt get much foam, and I forgot to check it the last 2-3 days. I found the top cabbage cover piece to be slightly uncovered by water. I discarded it, and now looking at the remaining sauerkraut it has a slight pungent smell and tasted a tiny bit, tastes salty and sour. No traces of any rotting. I'm not sure if this is good to eat as I havnt tied Sauerkratu before. Any thoughts?
Hey! In my experience the foam amount varies and I also have forgotten to check mine for a couple days and found the top cabbage exposed. I also just discard it and still eat the sauerkraut and have had zero issues. Unless I see a big chunk of blue and green fuzzy mold in there I assume it's still good! Best of luck with this and good for you for giving this a go 😀
@@RaelanAgle Thanks so much for the response Raelan, hope you are well!! :D
I have always wanted to make sauerkraut but I didn't because I worried about the smell.
It does smell a tiny bit! But it never bothered me 🙂
Sound like you had fungal / candida infection. Alot of people get this from mold in their home from roof or pipe leak.
I get way more fatigued when I eat fermented foods.
Great observation - good to listen to your body
Well my fist attempt at sauerkraut today and I cook at village idiot standard
Haha oh my goodness this cracked me up! You are funny - I love your humor and I love even more that you tried making sauerkraut. Good for you!
it is 3 (max 4)months after you live without microwave you can cure from CVS=fatigue/bad digestion=shortage of vitamins/sore throat/depression/only being tired is not CFS.
