The sourness comes from the lactic acid produced during the fermentation process. If the sauerkraut is fermented at too high a temperature it can inhibit the process. Loosen, then tighten, the lid briefly each day to allow any gas to escape that has collected as the result of the fermentation process. Tesco also sells Biona Organic Kimchi and also Biona Organic Sauerkraut. Unfortunately, Aldi do not. Other supermarket options are Sainsbury’s who sell sauerkraut, but not the unpasteurised variety. Aldi is another German shop. It also has a variety of German foods but tends to sell more English items than LIDL.
