Sauerkraut is cabbage fermented with salt. The figures here describe bottled and canned sauerkraut after draining. It provides small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, along with vitamin C and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 1.1g of carbohydrate, 1.1g of protein, 10mg of vitamin C and 1.5g of salt.
Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though these figures are for the drained product. Fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 3 brands. Bottled and canned, drained). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
