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.
Naturally fermented sauerkraut does not contain vinegar. The sour taste comes directly from the process of fermentation. The sugar in cabbage is converted into lactic acid, which gives the cabbage its characteristic sour flavor. The lactic acid also preserves the cabbage and prevents it from rotting.
