Traditional sauerkraut is made through a fermentation process that relies on the natural lactic acid produced by bacteria, without the addition of vinegar. However, some recipes or commercial versions may include vinegar to enhance flavor or speed up the fermentation process. While this can create a similar taste, it technically differs from authentic sauerkraut, which is purely fermented cabbage.
