White cabbage "Langedijker Bewaar"

* Sauerkraut is very rich in various substances that are useful for improving immunity.
First of all - vitamin C, which is necessary for the production of interferons, T-lymphocytes - cells of the immune system.
Vitamin C is also vital for the synthesis of collagen - a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue and ensures its strength and elasticity.
Collagen is also the basis for the mucous surface of the nasopharynx, and the production of this substance is required so that it has the ability to prevent infection.
And sauerkraut is rich in prebiotics - a fertile breeding ground for trillions of bacteria living in the intestines.
Scientists call them the microbiome. This beneficial microflora fights harmful viruses and bacteria bursting into our body.
But it needs to be fed: sauerkraut is very suitable for this purpose, which is also a natural probiotic, that is, it contains the very friendly bacteria that replenish our microbiome (these bacteria are formed during fermentation processes during fermentation of cabbage).
In addition, sauerkraut contains succinic acid, which is necessary for the full functioning of mitochondria: it gives the body's cells energy. And for us - an opportunity to cheer up, especially when we feel tired or hungover, for example.
