Pickled cabbage is very rich in vitamins C and very good in winter time with boiled potatoes. It is a very common Russian dish and almost every family has it on a table at winter time, especially, in the North of Russia. It is so good as a starter dish, just add vegetable oil and onion. We also use it in other dishes as soups. Cranberries or apples added in Russian pickled cabbage (sauerkraut) for additional flavors. Best by taste vegetables picked at wooden barrels.
