The best quality sauerkraut is fermented for a minimum of 20 days. This time span ensures good flavor development, proper acidity level and complete consumption of all the sugars in the cabbage. The L. mesenteroides do most of their work in the first 3 days. They are the smallest of the three bacteria studied.or starters, until you like the taste, texture and tang of your sauerkraut!
