Pick your recipe
To pickle cabbage in a three-liter jar, you need to know how many products are needed for the procedure. The thing is that in the end, the pickle turned out to be tasty and stored for a long time, you need, firstly, to observe a certain recipe, and secondly, to fill the jar completely (the second point allows you to make the cabbage under oppression, therefore, chopped vegetables leaven will always be in brine and will not dry out).
Now for the ingredients themselves. For a three-liter jar, 2-3 kilograms of cabbage is enough. Why is the weight so different? Yes, because it all depends on the method of chopping - the larger the chopped vegetable, the less it fits in the jar, as large pieces are rather poorly packed.
Carrots and salt - the amount of these ingredients may vary, each housewife has her own recipe. However, if we talk about average values, then a jar of three liters is enough 60 grams of salt (a little more than two tablespoons) and 150 grams of carrots (a couple of medium root crops). It is believed that cabbage is learned the most delicious if you put salt 2% of the weight of cabbage, and carrots - 5%. However, if you are a lover of carrots and too salty foods, then these ingredients can be slightly increased, but you should not overdo it, because after prolonged storage cabbage can change its taste not for the better. In general, on a note, carrots are an optional ingredient in sauerkraut (it affects the color more), but the amount of salt can also be determined to taste, because in the end the cabbage grated with salt should be slightly more salted than a regular salad.
