Eggs can legally be sold up to a month after the sell-by date, after which they are indeed illegal but still very much edible for another two weeks or so, longer if theyâre hard-boiled and kept in the shell.
Sauerkraut & Sodium. Sauerkraut in bowl with cabbage on cutting board Photo Credit zeleno/iStock/Getty Images. Sauerkraut has some impressive nutritional benefits. Itâs a fat-free, low calorie food, and a good source of fiber, iron and vitamins C and K. As a naturally fermented product, itâs also a probiotic.The bad news is this: sauerkraut is so high in sodium that it should only be enjoyed in small amounts to avoid consuming an excessive amount of salt.hese values give some perspective on the sodium in sauerkraut. One-quarter cup of canned, drained sauerkraut has 235 milligrams of sodium and a 1-cup serving jumps to 939 milligrams.
Not just one bacteria either, but a whole range of different species are involved in the fermentation process. The bacteria don't even need to be added to the sauerkraut, as they live naturally on the cabbage leaves. All that is required to start the process off is shredded cabbage and salt.vergrowth of the lactobacillus, for example if the jar is stored at too high a temperature during fermentation, can cause the sauerkraut to form the wrong consistency. Likewise if the sauerkraut gets too acidic too early the lactobacillus get in on the action early leading to soft sauerkraut.
