Cabbage for souring: choose the best varieties

Before we start to digest, we learn which cabbage varieties are best suited for pickling. In general, the variety should be medium or late-ripening, the head is large and white, without greens, since only white leaves contain the sugar necessary for fermentation.

The vegetable itself should be crispy and sweet.

To sour cabbage according to recipes, which quickly allows it to be served, we use the following varieties of cabbage for pickling.

For accelerated ripening of cabbage, we adhere to several important rulesto get a well-kept, tasty and quality product.

  • We choose only mid-ripening and late-ripening varieties: the early ones are not stored for long.
  • The amount of carrots should not exceed 3% of the main mass.
  • Do not use iodized salt: for souring is suitable only ordinary large salt, the amount of which should not exceed 2% of the cabbage mass.

  • We leave cabbage to wander at a temperature of 18-20 degrees. When fermentation should appear bubbles and foam. We must remove the foam.
  • Cabbage should be covered with brine. If it is not enough, put even more oppression or add extra prepared brine.
  • We store sauerkraut at a temperature of 0-5 degrees, not higher, otherwise it will peroxidise and become bitter.

If we have roasted cabbage by all rules, it acquires a sweet and sour taste and amber-yellow color.

So, you learned how to make a quick salting of cabbage without using vinegar and other unnatural preservatives. Prepare this useful dish for the whole family, surprise them with guests and use it for unloading days - a crisp cabbage will give slenderness and strengthen health!

Our ancestors were not available for quick salting of cabbage. Once salt was valued more expensive than gold and was a frequent guest not on every table. To keep food in the absence of preservatives was not easy. The existing methods required long exposure of blanks in strictly specified conditions.

Our capabilities allow you to add to the food various spices and spices with which the food becomes richer in taste, faster canned and stored better. Salt, which we generously put in billets, prevents the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and inhibits the processes of fermentation. Salted cabbage does not need to stand for weeks at room temperature, waiting for it to become suitable for long-term storage. A variety of recipes will allow just a few days or even hours to bring the product to the desired quality.

Salt or sour - what's the difference?

Actually there is no difference, the terms refer to the same process. By salting is meant a method of preservation, in which the main role is given to lactic acid.

This component is released in the process of natural fermentation of fruits and vegetables, gives the dish a specific taste and is the guarantor of the safety of the produce. Only processing of different kinds of crops is described in different terms. So, for example, apples "wet", cucumbers "salt", and cabbage "kvass".

Despite the differences in the names, the essence of this does not change. Everywhere the preservative is lactic acid and partially salt, which controls the fermentation process, protects the product from souring, speeds up salting, allowing to shorten the cooking time.

In those days, when salt was an expensive treat, in the villages there was used a pure fermentation. The cabbage was cut, laid down under pressure and without air access, fermented in its own juice.

To the product does not deteriorate, it should be strongly tampered. With the slightest ingress of oxygen, lactic acid fermentation could have stopped, and the cabbage would simply rot. Long exposure guaranteed reliable preservation and storage for a long time.

Ready cabbage was placed in a cold room. At low temperatures, lactic acid bacteria reduced activity. However, the fermentation process did not stop, and the product became sour with time.

Salt, which is actively added to modern recipes, not only additionally preserves the product, but also inhibits the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, cabbage, fermented with the use of salt, can be stored much longer.

Basics of cabbage salting

For conservation to be successful, you must observe four important conditions:

  • choose a vegetable of the appropriate variety;
  • protect the product from damage;
  • create an environment suitable for the development of lactic acid bacteria;
  • bring all working surfaces in perfect condition.

How does salting occur? Lactic acid bacteria that are present on the leaves of the vegetable ferment the sugars contained in the cabbage. Accordingly, the more simple carbohydrates in a vegetable, the more active is the conservation. That's why you need to choose varieties with the optimal chemical composition. Otherwise, sugar will have to be paid additionally.

To along with lactic bacteria did not develop harmful microorganisms, try to remove the maximum amount of air from the product.

To do this, cabbage should be well condensed. It is better to spread the product in small layers and each of them carefully to fix.


It is desirable to put oppression on top, then the cabbage will sink a little in its own juice. As oppression, you can use a well-washed stone or a container of water. On top of the workpiece lay some kind of press. You can use a flat plate or a wooden disk made by hand. And already directly on the press put weighting.

To develop lactic acid bacteria need a temperature of 15 to 22 ° C. Therefore, after all preparations, cabbage should be left at room temperature. Further, when the product accumulates enough acid, the activity of the bacteria must be reduced by removing the preform in a cool place. In the villages, it is usually put in a cellar, where the temperature is kept within 8-12 ° C. And the finished product should be stored in the refrigerator at 0-2 ° C.

And, of course, during cooking, do not forget about cleanliness. Thoroughly wash all the appliances, dishes, sterilize the jars. We thoroughly clean the vegetables. Cut the damaged parts. In general, we prevent the ingress of dirt into the product.

The best cabbage varieties for pickling and souring

For salting and souring, medium-and medium-late varieties and cabbage hybrids, in which the maturation period from emergence to full formation of the head is 115-160 days, is best suited.


The most popular of them are:

  • "Glory";
  • "Gift";
  • "The Midor";
  • "The Merchant";
  • Dobrovodskaya;
  • "Krautman".

Cabbage of these varieties forms a large head with a small stump. The weight of one vegetable can reach 3 kg. The inner leaves are white or greenish, very tightly collected, strong, juicy, sweet, contain a large number of  carbohydrates.

Cabbage of these varieties is good even without salting. A pickled, made by all the rules of the procurement, it turns delicious and crisp, can be stored until next season.

Preparation: place, tools, raw materials

Quitting cabbage is not a time consuming process. The main part of the work is laid in only three stages. Before the bookmark, the vegetables must be cleaned, cut and salted.


We wash cabbage. We remove the spoiled leaves, cut off all the defects. Cut out a stump. Leave a blank white head out. The same is done with other ingredients. If we put carrots, then also, we clean it and remove all the corrupted places.

We will cut the vegetables on the table. Prepare a place, removing all unnecessary. You can shred cabbage on plastic or wooden boards. For cutting, in addition to the usual universal kitchen knife, it is convenient to use a special knife-shredder or grater-shredder.

If the brine is prepared separately, we will select a suitable container for it. If the cabbage is simply rubbed with salt, we will prepare a large bowl or basin, in which we will mix everything with our hands.

Stack vegetables in acid resistant dishes. For this purpose, an enamel saucepan is suitable. But some recipes provide for the laying of cabbage in banks. If vegetables are kvassyatsya in a wide bowl, they need to press down with oppression, so that the product disappears under a layer of juice or brine.

Vegetables packed in cans, too, will give off juice. Therefore, if the containers are filled to the top, it is better to put them in a basin, so that the liquid drains into it, and not to the floor.

When the cabbage starts to wander, it will accumulate gas. Its excess can spoil the taste of the finished product. Therefore, we will periodically pierce the workpiece with a wooden rod, releasing the excess. During the fermentation on the cabbage will appear frothy cap, which must be carefully removed with a clean spoon.

We remember that any objects with which we touch the product: knives, boards, spoons, should be thoroughly washed and bathed with boiling water. The same applies to containers - pots and cans.


If we cook cabbage at a time, then the jars can not be sterilized, and wash with soap or soda, hot water. Close the blank with a clean plastic cover. In this form it can be stored no longer than three months.

How to pickle cabbage so that it is crispy

If you sour cabbage, but it turned out soft, use the following tips:

  • try the next time when pickling does not crumble cabbage, so it is better to keep its initial properties;
  • do not spare salt, it will keep the growth of harmful microflora and will not allow the product to peroxide;
  • use only late varieties of cabbage;
  • keep clean during cooking, as external microorganisms can prevent the fermentation process from proceeding as it should;
  • as soon as the juice in the billet becomes transparent, immediately remove the cabbage in a cool place.

The last recommendation, of course, is from the field of fantasy, but those who follow it say that the result is excellent. The national calendar recommends harvesting cabbage for the growing moon, on the day of 5-6 days from the new moon. This method can be used together with other recommendations.

Marinate vegetables without vinegar

None of our recipe uses vinegar. Although the taste of some blanks turns out to be similar to the taste of pickled vegetables. It's all about adding sugar. If it is put less than salt, the product will soon start to ferment and acquire a characteristic sourness.

Abundance of sugar suppresses the growth of lactic acid bacteria. If you add it twice as much as salt, the fermentation process will not work. The activity of microorganisms will slow down. The juice extracted from the cabbage will taste like marinade.

Bquick salting of cabbage with beets   - cooking method.

First we take cabbage, we separate the top sheets from it, and the rest, in contrast to the recipe for sauerkraut, is cut into large cubes, approximately 3x3 cm in size.

Horseradish cleansed, rinsed with cool water and weed on a small vegetable grater.

We divide the garlic head into separate denticles, each one is peeled from the husk and crushed with a garlic press or cut very finely with a sharp knife.

Fresh beets will be cleaned, washed and cut into cubes.

Next, we mix all the prepared vegetable ingredients  in one large bowl (bowl) and transfer them, densely ramming, into an enamel saucepan prepared for pickling, a tub or a clay pot.

Then we will prepare a spicy brine of water, sugar, salt and various spices, bring it to a boil and boil for a few minutes, so that the sugar and salt will completely dissolve. We remove the brine from the fire and let it cool completely.


Then we pour cabbage with beets and horseradish with cooled brine to the very top, cover with a lid, a plate or a special wooden mug on top and set the yoke. As an oppression you can use, as in salting a tomato, an ordinary three-liter jar filled with water.


Two days later the cabbage will be ready for consumption, then it must be transferred to a facet, like salted cucumbers, in a cold cellar or cellar. If you do not have anything like this, shift the cabbage into clean glass jars, cover with normal nylon lids and put it in the refrigerator.

This topic is for me the most beloved. Because sauerkraut  - that rare case, when I, as they say, "sparkle" with culinary talent, which is probably spread only on dishes from this vegetable. Everyone loves my cabbage - I am boasting without exaggeration

I do not know what the secret is, but all friends and relatives respect my option of this tasty and useful.

Although nothing special I do, it seems to be the same as everyone else.

it a successful billet  for the wintery: and there is always a snack, and vitamins are provided on the table to the family. Today I read that for a long time in Russia all the girls and even girls learned to sour cabbage. Precisely, for sure! It was my mother who gave me this recipe when I helped her in this matter as a child. And on the Internet it is written that   "This is hard work". This is really amazing! Because and it takes only a couple of hours and a couple of helpers, which will peel and grate carrots and cans of glass washed.

Yes, by the way, about the dishes for work. I've heard a lot about pickling in barrels, tubs, etc. I myself PRINCIPALLY salt (kvasha) cabbage ONLY in 3-liter jars. Once I was persuaded into a plastic tub, but the product turned out to be completely different, as always - not mine at all

Sour cabbage with own hands

So, we need:

  •   three-liter cans,
  • salt (iodized is not necessary, ordinary salt),
  • cabbage (tight, light green heads, early, green for salting is not suitable)
  • carrots (number - by eye, who loves as much)
  • sugar

Well, the recipe for salting is simple. Finely shred it, top it with grated carrots.



Now the main thing is how and how much to salt. I remember well my mother's behests - to salt so that it was nice to eat. That is, do not salt, re-salting - they say, "we salt", but as if we do

And now - attention! Pa-ba-ba-bam! Having studied several recipes of sauerkraut, I understood the difference between my and other recipes. I sprinkle a bunch of sliced ​​vegetables with sugar! A little, literally half a handful. Sugar will help to start the natural process of fermentation and the formation of lactic acid.


Judging by other recipes, fermentation should be carried out by itself. I do not know if cabbage today is not something like before, that it is necessary to "help" it? But I always sprinkle sugar, and it always captivates other people's hearts and stomachs

Then this pile should be crushed a bit, so that our cabbage allocated juice.


In the washed jar (it is not necessary to sterilize) we begin to lay it tightly, ramming, using our own fist.


The narrow part of the bank will perfectly cope with the role of oppression, the main thing is to thoroughly tamp down our future snack. In other versions of sour, it was proposed to use oppression, load, and so on. I also manage at a minimum, as already mentioned.

If the juice has already gone out, drain a little. We put the jar on the recessed plate (during the night the juice will stand out and the floor or table will be filled without a plate). Do not cover.

The cabbage will last for two or three days, depending on the temperature in the house. I recently was ready for 2 days, but in autumn it usually takes three to four days. During this time, you need to constantly remove a tablespoon of extra juice and two or three times a day with a long knife pierce cabbage  in the bank to the very bottom - to get out the gases. The smell, I'll tell you, even that one will stand in your kitchen, so it's better to warn your household. Although they will later be very grateful to you for the stunned!

Mom's assistant:

If you put the pots then you will have nowhere (there is no cellar or cold cellar in the garage), you can disassemble the snack on the sachets (I do) and in the freezer. Throughout the winter, I take out a bag from the refrigerator, enough for two or three salads. Or borscht do, or carcass sauerkraut - very tasty!

But most often we do it simply with oil and onions (you can still add green pea). And recently my husband tried to fill a salad instead of vegetable oil. It was very tasty!

Bon Appetit!

Many mistresses do not see the difference between salting and sour cabbage. Indeed, these two processes are similar. The only difference is that salting vegetables with a recipe puts more salt than with leaven, and the process of salting occurs more quickly, in about three to five days. At that time, sauerkraut should be well thrown out, which takes up to two weeks. Excess salt slows down the fermentation process, so there is less lactic acid in the pickles than in the fermented sauerkraut. The acid and salt contained in the salted cabbage kill more microorganisms and putrefactive bacteria, so it is stored longer. The amount of salt does not affect the deterioration of taste. Salted cabbage turns crispy, with a tender and pleasant sweet and sour taste.

Salting cabbage - preparing food

For salting white white cabbage cabbage of late varieties is taken, without damage. The forks are cleaned from the upper leaves, they are usually more sluggish and have a greenish tinge. Then cut into thin strips. Now there are many devices for the mechanical grinding of vegetables. So you can chop cabbage with a vegetable cutter, a special grater, in a food processor or an ordinary knife. Before shredding the knife needs to be sharpened well - and the process will go faster and the straw will go out a little. Spices that will be used for salting, you need to sort out, remove rotten and spoiled leaves and twigs and rinse.

Pickling Cabbage - the best recipes

Recipe 1: Salting cabbage with grains of dill

Such cabbage with a gently-sour taste will be nice to crunch under hot fried potatoes on winter cold evenings. Cabbage must be chopped with thin and long strips similar to spaghetti.

Ingredients:  cabbage - 2 heads of medium size, 3 carrots, salt - 2 tablespoons with a slide, 1 tbsp. l. dry grains of dill

Cut the cabbage into two unequal parts - with a stump and without, and chop. You can put half the plug on the edge or put flat on the table, to whom as usual. Cob and the area around it with coarse fibers should not be cut.

Fold the cut into a wide bowl to be comfortable to stir - a basin, or a large saucepan, pour in salt and thoroughly crumple. To ensure that salt does not damage the skin of the hands, and for hygiene purposes, it is better to wear disposable gloves (or cellophane bags). Add the seeds of dill, grated carrots, stir.

From above install the load and put the cabbage on a balcony or other cool place, but not in the refrigerator. The role of the load at home is usually performed by an inverted flat plate, on which a small weight, a bottle or a jar of water is placed. In our case, we need a three-liter can, filled with 2/3 water.

The fermentation process has already gone, so twice a day, the contents of the pan should be freed from the accumulated gases at the bottom of the dishes, otherwise the cabbage will turn out with a bitter taste. To do this, remove the load, mix the mass with a spoon, leave for a couple of minutes and return the pressure to the place. After three days, cabbage is put into smaller containers and transferred to a refrigerator or cellar, if it is.

Recipe 2: Cauliflower salting

It so happened that if it comes to leaven or pickling cabbage, then they mean basically white-headed. But this recipe for cabbage is colored, it is also suitable for pickling and is obtained no less, if not more delicious than the traditional white-headed. To make the dish look more beautiful, it is better to grate the carrot on a grater for korean carrots. This condition is not mandatory, it has a recommendation character. Cabbage should be selected in a dense, white color. Yellowish inflorescences signal that the cabbage is slightly overripe, and not entirely suitable for pickling. What does not have the best effect on the appearance and taste of the prepared dish.

Ingredients: cauliflower  - 2 forks, carrots - 0.5 kg, 5-6 grains of garlic, black pepper pepper, 4-5 laurel leaves. For brine - for one liter of water: 1 st. spoon of salt with a slide, incomplete (without a slide) a tablespoon of sugar.

Cooking method

Prepare the brine, why stir in the salt with sugar, boil and cool.

The forks are disassembled into large inflorescences and blanch for a minute-one and a half, i.e. lower it for this time in boiling water. Long keep it is not necessary, otherwise cabbage will turn out not crispy, but cotton. Then the inflorescence should be cooled under water and layered in a bowl for pickling. Lay the layers of grated carrots, chopped garlic, pepper, a couple of laurel leaves. The first and last layers are carrots.

Cabbage pour brine and load. Leave in the heat (in the kitchen) for a day or two, then move to the balcony. The cabbage salted out after 4-5 days. She is transferred to the banks, which are put in the refrigerator.

Recipe 3: Salting cabbage with beets

Such cabbage is not only very tasty and crispy, but also looks good on the plate and on the table. After all, she differs from her pale-faced sister with a beautiful crimson color.

Ingredients: 2 large cabbage forks - 4 kg, 2-3 beets, whole garlic head, 1-2 horseradish roots. For a brine for 2 liters of water: 100 g of salt, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 4 bay leaves, 2 pieces of cloves and 10 peas of black pepper.

Cooking method

Boil the water, putting all the ingredients for the brine in there, cool it.

Cut cabbage randomly, at its discretion - thin straws or large chunks, not forgetting to remove the stump. Garlic and horseradish root chop - on a grater or through a meat grinder, cut the beets into small cubes. Cut the cabbage very hard and mix it with horseradish and garlic, then put it in a bowl for pickling, sprinkling with beet cubes.

After two or three days, the cabbage is ready. She is transferred to the banks and put in a cold place - a cellar, a cellar or a refrigerator.

For quality salting cabbage, you must choose the right salt. Use only a stone salt of coarse grinding, does not fit iodized or Extra (finely ground).

During fermentation, the brine must completely cover the cabbage. If the brine is not enough, the weight of the cargo needs to be increased (add more water to the jar or put more weight in the jar).

To make the cabbage juicy and crispy, it is recommended that it be salted on the growing moon.
