I bought it in Canada, in the international aisle of my grocery store.
I think it tastes fine, but I’m wondering if this is actually the real deal?

There are no real „bad“ German prepacked Sauerkrauts. They all differ in Sauerkrautigkeit and taste a bit, depending on manufacturer or region.
Yeah, it’s fine 👍🏻
The best sauerkraut that you can get is the one you do yourself.
But apart from that, one indicator for good quality is the list of ingredients. Sauerkraut should have three ingredients: cabbage, salt and maybe water.
As it needs to be shelf-stable, it’ll be pasteurized, in some shops you’ll also get refrigerated unpasteurized Sauerkraut
Hengstenberg is a very reliable company, they sell all kinds of good quality pickled vegetables.
I would say it is the most sold industrial produced Sauerkraut in Germany. It’s pretty well.known and good quality.
There are no good sauerkrauts in a glass. Only from barrel 😁
I live in Germany and typically buy this brand. It’s good!
Hengstenberg is definitely a quality brand when it comes to preserved foodstuffs and they do lead the market for Sauerkraut in terms of sales in Germany, so you can’t really go wrong with it.
Yes this is a good Brand. But there is vine added to the Sauerkraut (so its actually “weinkraut”).
It tastes much less sour then the real Sauerkraut.
It’s a good one, but make sure to add plenty of Kümmel (carraway seeds)…and if you are making the kraut to go along with bratwurst, add some bratwurst grease fron the pan to the kraut.
They sell this across the US, too. Along with the rot kohl and pickles. It’s that good.
I just bought the pickles today, lol.
Hengstenberg is the best brand imo
Its perfectly fine. But be aware, it’s pre cooked. Means there are no active microorganisms. If you want them, you would ned fresh sauerkraut.
It’s legit. Hengstenberg is a quite well-known traditional producer. My grandma worked in their production line in the 60s. (Thank u for ur work Oma)
You will not buy good Sauerkraut in Germany. You will not buy anything good and fermented in Germany. The german law does not like fermented food and considers it unsafe and everything will have plenty of conservants and E-numbers and will not be truly fermented.
Just make it yourself. It is very easy.
This is the most foreigner post ive seen on this sub in forever lmao
Sauerkraut in cans and glasses has been heated so it’s “dead” and no longer good for your health. You need to eat fresh Sauerkraut. That’s the real stuff. You can find it often at the “Frische-Theke” at the supermarket.
Yep, it is authentic, that’s not some small bs brand that only produces crap for export (like many of the German beers sold in the US).
That being said, it’s authentic but nothing special. Not that I would know of any special kind of sauerkraut brand, but I’ll readily admit I’m not into the stuff.
Nice try marketing team
Ist ein sehr gutes Sauerkraut vor allem es kommt aus DL und nicht von den Ami’s
„Germanys No1 Sauerkraut“ It’s right on the Label. Is that not clear enough???
My favorite is the Kühne 2 Minuten Fasskraut. So good 😋
