Sauerkraut with Our K-Y Cabbage

11/27/2020 – Jeff suggested we grow Taiwanese Cabbage and research about that cabbage turned up that here it is called K-Y cabbage. So, we grew some and now have three heads. Two went into sauerkraut and one into coleslaw. Based on the amounts computed using our Sauerkraut Calculator we prepared the following.
