Question:

Is jarred sauerkraut/kimchi as healthy and beneficial as what is fresh and refrigerated in the grocery store?

— Terri Baker

Answer:

I think you need to look at how the product is packaged. Um, you know, these items, um, are alive, uh, and, you know, should be packed, uh, accordingly. Um, so, you know, inquire about how they've been treated before they left the processing f uh, facility. If they've been, um, um, I don't, uh, pasteurized or, or treated in some fashion that might kill off the live microbes, uh, that you otherwise would want, right? In that sauerkraut or that kimchi. Okay? But, um, I mean, otherwise, the comparison here, uh, is pretty broad, and I think, uh, you know, all of these things could be, uh, good products, but use, if, if you're questioning it, then please inquire Okay. With the manufacturer of the products. Thank you. All right.
