Homemade Sauerkraut

Ingredients

•  I purple cabbage
•  4 organic carrots
•  2 Tbsp dill seeds
•  2 Tbsp mustard seeds
•  2 tsp Himalayan or sea salt

Method

1. Grate carrot and finely slice cabbage, placing shreds into a large bowl. Cover with salt and stand for 10 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze and crush vegetables for 10 minutes, or until juice is released. Stir in seeds.
