I t must be a caraway, no - cumin. No way. A cumin has a different taste, doesn't go together well.
In Poland, where sauerkraut [kiszona kapusta] is extremaly popular, sometimes is made with carrot, apples but always with a caraway [kminek], though.
In Northern European countries, where winter is long and harsh the sauerkraut is a great source of vitamin C., and used to keep people healthy and saved from scurvy.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy watching videos on how things were done by tradition. Is there any other things your family does together. For food storage? I grow many of my own foods and am always looking for ways to preserve my harvest.
Marvelous. I brazillian and my familly brougth the same tradition for Sauerkraut. Puttting apples with sauerkraut its something that never came up to my mind. Maybe I will try it... I am curious. Thanks.
@Luiyi385 It will not rot, it will ferment, which is different than rotting. The acid produced by fermenting kills any bad bacteria that would rot the cabbage.
@Luiyi385 The main thing is to have enough juice. First it looks like it's too much of it and it can even go over edges of the container, later it is very needed. Thus it can be collected in bottle first and afterwards poured back.
Normally sauerkraut are good for at least half-a-year. Might be a year, but not always.
@GlindaTheGoodWitch1 Yes. It doesn't matter much, but in this way the apples can be taken out afterwards and eaten separately (by those who like them, and many people do)
What is that thing called he's using to push down the cabbage? I tried googling "pestle" and nothing like that came up.

Are you sure it's cumin or is it caraway seeds?

@4straker Both cumin and caraway translates as "ķimene" in Latvian for some reason. Just looked up wikipedia - it looks more like caraway indeed.

@4straker
I only asked because I struggled with this word too and my family from the Czech Republic puts caraway seeds (kmin).
Why do you put whole apples in there?

@apaulanarius we are also making various pickles and currant juices. Maybe some day I'll film those processes as well :)

Did I understand right, that they threw the apples in whole?
