About This Ferment
Ruby Kraut

Red cabbage carries deeper colour and more anthocyanins than green, and it makes a milder, sweeter kraut. Apple is fermented in alongside it, which softens the sour edge into something easier to eat by the spoonful.

Galangal sits behind the garlic, hibiscus flowers add a delicate floral bouquet, and beetroot powder deepens the ruby colour. Three Australian-made probiotic strains are added at the end of fermentation. Non-pasteurised, with live cultures intact.

02 Live Probiotic Strains 3 Strains, TGA Approved
Lactobacillus plantarumOne of the most-studied lactic acid bacteria in fermented food.
Naturally present in fermented vegetables, sourdough, olives, and the human gut. Tolerates a wide pH range and survives stomach acid better than most strains, which is why it's a workhorse of vegetable ferments. Produces lactic acid and antimicrobial compounds during fermentation that help drive out spoilage bacteria.
Lactobacillus rhamnosusAmong the most commercially used probiotic species worldwide.
Originally isolated from human and dairy sources. Notable for sticking to the intestinal lining rather than passing straight through, and for being robust through digestion. TGA-listed for general use in Australian probiotic supplements. Often paired with L. plantarum and L. paracasei in mixed-strain ferments because each strain contributes different metabolic activity.
Lactobacillus paracaseiClosely related to L. casei but a distinct, hardier species.
Naturally found in fermented dairy, fermented vegetables, and the human mouth and gut. Generally robust through stomach acid. The third strain in the trio used here, alongside L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus. The trio is a common combination because each works at slightly different parts of the fermentation curve and within different parts of the gut.

01Storage
Refrigeration
Keep refrigerated at all times. Cold storage keeps the live cultures dormant and the flavour stable.
After Opening
Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 months of opening. Use a clean utensil each time. Press contents below the brine after each use to keep cultures protected.
Active Fermentation
A small amount of bubble or fizz on opening is normal. The cultures are alive and continue to slowly ferment in the jar.
02Serving
Best With
Serving Suggestion

Tossed through a salad, stirred through a cheese platter, or a generous spoonful on a Reuben. Sits well on a breakfast plate with avocado.

Per Serve
35 g per serve delivers 5.25 billion CFU. A heaped tablespoon is roughly the right size.
Don't Cook It
Heat above 45°C kills the live cultures. Add as a finishing element on top of warm food, not stirred into a hot pan.
Recipe Suggestions
Recipes
01
Ruby Kraut & Goat Cheese SaladNo cook • 10 min • Serves 2
▼
You'll Need
100g mixed leaves (rocket, baby spinach) 4 tbsp Love Organics Ruby Kraut 60g soft goat cheese 30g toasted walnuts 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp lemon juice Cracked pepper
Method
1Pile the leaves into a wide bowl.
2Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
3Scatter the walnuts.
4Drop spoonfuls of ruby kraut around the bowl.
5Drizzle olive oil and lemon, crack pepper, toss gently at the table.
Tip: The kraut is the dressing here. Tossing too hard breaks the goat cheese into the leaves, which is a fine outcome.
02
Ruby Cheese Board TopNo cook • 2 min • Serves 4 to 6
▼
You'll Need
A cheese board with sharp cheddar, soft brie, blue cheese A small jar of Love Organics Ruby Kraut Crackers or sliced sourdough Honey for the blue
Method
1Set the cheese out 30 minutes before serving so it warms.
2Spoon ruby kraut into a small bowl on the board.
3Eat by piling a little kraut onto crackers with cheese, especially the sharp cheddar.
Tip: The hibiscus and beetroot in the kraut make the colour on a board pop. Pairs harder with sharp and aged cheeses than soft ones.
