Pour salt in the cabbage and leave it to ferment for 1 month. The salt, via osmosis, pulls water out of the cabbage to form brine that helps protect the kraut while it is fermenting. The sauerkraut will then be ready to enjoy.
How much salt do you put in one head of cabbage sauerkraut?

What is the best way to ferment cabbage?
Place stone fermentation weights on top of the whole cabbage leaves and press down, but not too hard. You don’t want to damage the cabbage. Cover the fermentation crock with a lid. The salt will naturally draw some water out of the cabbage.
