Dick Sandberg, Janesville, brought in this artifact. #567 was attached to 1045. See #567. Pioneers knew this was a good way of preserving their cabbage through the winter. Today we know that fresh, raw cabbage is very rich in vitamin C, containing enough in about a cup to supply a whole day's needs. Cooked cabbage and sauerkraut have about half this much. Sauerkraut is also an excellent source of Vitamin K. In the old times, Vitamin C was hard to come by during the winter and sauerkraut was one of their very few sources.Cataloged By
