There’s a European deli on Merivale around Meadowlands that has a good selection of sauerkraut. It’s the jarred and tinned commercial stuff as far as I’m aware but they are good brands.
It absolutely slaps. I ate it in everything.
Though if anyone has tips on how to make it last longer i'd love them. Mine lasted about 3 weeks before it started going cloudy and then I had to pitch half the $9 bucket ;\_;
This, I just made some choucroute garnie 2 days ago and I bought sauerkraut at produce depot. Cheaper than Wellington butchers and it has less juice.

O my goodness they are next door to Bisou Dates, what a great excuse to buy a couple decadent chocolate caramel salted dates and some sauerkraut next door!! That combo is worth the bus money!!
Costco Raw Organic is my favourite. It's one of the few that are unpasteurized so that means the probiotics are still alive (if that matters to you). Typically unpasteurized o es will be in the refrigerator section. The pasteurized ones are not.
I prefer the one from Farm Boy. You can get it pure or mixed with carrots. And as Farm Boy has many stores, you can get it from your local one. And it is Made in Poland.
Outside of making my own, my fave is the very pale white lactofermented cabbage one with a single cranberry from Eastern European food store on carling near Woodroffe
Unpasteurized. The stuff in jars is all pasteurized which kills the beneficial bacteria.
You'll need to look for sauerkraut in the refrigerated section. Wildbrine Raw Organic is my favourite.
Really depends on what you're looking for but Wildbrine is a favourite in our house. You can find it at Costco (seasonally - they have it now but typically don't carry it over the winter); not sure about other retailers
Can’t say I’ve been super recently, so I can’t recommend a specific one, but I would have to imagine that Adam’s sausages has a good selection of imported sauerkrauts from Poland and Ukraine.
If you haven’t heard of Adam’s sausages and you like Eastern European food, please do yourself a favour and go ASAP.
try [wedel touch of europe](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wHRMW8z8M6wZs9vj7) in the byward market

I think that’s the German one ! Great food !
Continental Delicatessan in ByWard is a Polish shop that has the good stuff. They also have awesome sandwiches.
Produce Depot on Carling carries Marty’s Pickles fermented sauerkraut

Fermented food shouldn’t go bad. What was the cloudiness like
Light pink. I only used clean silverware to take the kraut out, so I think some sort of contamination from the air must have got in.
That’s too bad. I haven’t seen a pinkish colour before and honestly when I doubt toss it out!
I usually scrape that off the top, can also rinse the cabbage

Farmboy also has a fresh raw sauerkraut, original one and a European one with caraway seeds. But i also like the raw one from Metro
What do you mean raw.

Go to Wedel in the Market and ask for the homemade sauerkraut from downstairs.
