"It's a remarkably healthful and versatile food, one that fits in quite well with a low-calorie, health-conscious diet," said Ryan Downs, co-owner of Great Lakes Kraut Co. "Turkey Sauerkraut Burgers, Low-Carb Sauerkraut and Cauliflower Mash, and Tropical Surprise Salad are just a few of the tasty and healthier dishes you can make with Sauerkraut without having to count too many calories."

A one-cup serving of Sauerkraut has just 32 calories and contains no fat or cholesterol. Sauerkraut also is loaded with vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, potassium, and copper....

Recent highly publicized scientific studies like those done by researchers at Michigan State University and the University of New Mexico show that chemical compounds in Sauerkraut and cruciferous vegetables in general offer the body improved cancer-fighting abilities.

Tropical Surprise Salad is a great side dish for those lazy, leisurely days of grilling and eating summer food favorites.

"Try it," Downs said. "It'll make you feel good about eating a little healthier."
