a portion of sauerkraut is around 40 calories. fermented cabbage, genuinely one of the few sides that's basically free. the sodium is the only number worth watching.
| portion | calories |
|---|---|
| plain sauerkraut (~150g) | 40 |
| sauerkraut warmed with speck / fat | 110 |
| weinsauerkraut (~150g) | 70 |
ca. 40 kcal pro portion (~150g) pur. mit speck oder fett angebraten eher 100+ kcal.
as sides go, it's about as low-calorie as it gets — ~20 kcal per 100g, high in fiber. the catch is the sodium, not the calories.
ca. 20–25 kcal pro 100g pur. fermentierter kohl ist quasi kalorienfrei — das salz ist die einzige zahl, die zählt.
a lot — roughly 600mg per portion. it's fermented in salt, so that's the number to watch, not the calories.
