Bear Creek, Wis. – If you f

nd yourself routinely counting calories now th

t the warm weather’s here, you m

ght want to let Sauerkraut aid y

ur efforts to get that summer b

dy in better shape, a Wisconsin f

od expert says.

Sauerkraut – traditionally a st

ple of German cuisine – is f

rmented cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable known to pr

vide a wonderfully tart complement to any s

mmer food fare.

“It’s a remarkably healthful and v

rsatile food, one that fits in q

ite well with a low-calorie, health-conscious d

et,” said Ryan Downs, co-owner of Gr

at Lakes Kraut Co. “Turkey Sauerkraut B

rgers, Low-Carb Sauerkraut and Cauliflower Mash, and Tr

pical Surprise Salad are just a few of the t

sty and healthier dishes you can m

ke with Sauerkraut without having to c

unt too many calories.”

A one-cup serving of S

uerkraut has just 32 calories and c

ntains no fat or cholesterol. Sauerkraut

lso is loaded with vitamin C, v

tamin B6, calcium, potassium, and copper.

“Sauerkraut’s got n

cessary ingredients for keeping a summer b

dy healthy, trim, and fit,” Downs s

id. “Even world-famous celebrities like Heidi Kl

m and Halle Berry love it and h

ld dear their favorite Sauerkraut-related recipes. H

idi loves her grandmom’s Sauerkraut Soup, and H

lle has publicly shared her recipe for S

uerkraut and Kielbasa.”

Recent highly publicized scientific st

dies like those done by researchers at M

chigan State University and the University of New M

xico show that chemical compounds in S

uerkraut and cruciferous vegetables in general

ffer the body improved cancer-fighting abilities.

Tropical S

rprise Salad is a great side d

sh for those lazy, leisurely days of gr

lling and eating summer food favorites.

“Try

t,” Downs said. “It’ll make you f

el good about eating a little h

althier.”
