THE GREAT ODYSSEY OF SAUERKRAUT

A mirror of human history

Synopsis

Whether fermented, braised, shredded, raw, or simmered, cabbage and its iconic dish, sauerkraut, have crossed eras and borders.

Beyond its Alsatian heritage, sauerkraut also reflects human history, migration, and culinary innovations. It is a versatile dish that can be adapted to pair with meat or fish, and comes in halal, vegetarian, and even dessert versions.

Sauerkraut thus tells the story of society at the table, shifting identities, and cultural diversity.
