Welcome to a culinary adventure that combines the ancient art of fermentation with the modern trend of cannabis infusion. Today, we’ll dive into the tangy world of cannabis-infused sauerkraut—a flavorful and healthful creation that marries bold flavors with the myriad benefits of cannabis.
Why Cannabis-Infused Sauerkraut?
Sauerkraut, a staple in many cultures, is lauded for its probiotic properties and tangy taste, while cannabis is celebrated for its therapeutic benefits. Combining these two ingredients can not only enhance the flavor profile but also provide unique wellness advantages.
Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Cannabis-Infused Sauerkraut
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Step 2: Preparation
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and set them aside.
- Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, salt, and caraway seeds. Knead the mixture with your hands for about 10 minutes until it releases its juices.
Step 3: Infusion and Fermentation
- Mix the cannabis-infused oil into the cabbage.
- Transfer the mixture into a clean jar and firmly press down until the cabbage is completely submerged in its juices.
- Cover the kraut with a cabbage leaf and weigh it down with a glass or ceramic weight to keep it submerged.

- Let it ferment at room temperature for 1-4 weeks, tasting periodically to reach your desired tanginess.
