I loves sauerkruat! I also love meat too.. Most days, I have same sandwich but alas, sauerkruat needs to go on my no-no list because 1/4 cup of sauerkraunt has 2,000 sodium! Calories wise, sauerkraunt has very low calories BUT, when it comes to sodium, heaven help me...........
Please see my usual lunch,, and please no bashing, I only want some yummy ideas that I can use to replace sauerkraut.

You could make your own sauerkraut. Cabbage and salt in an airtight container for 30 days, voila!0

This might be weird, but... maybe making it yourself will make it less salty? There is still salt in the recipe of course, but I bet it's not as much as if you buy it in grocery stores. This website has a recipe for how to make it...

I kinda want to try it myself, now!0 -
How about trying an on line recipe for home made sauerkraut and cut the salt. Or maybe look up a low sodium recipe...there must be something out there! Maybe you could just saute cabbage in a pan, then add some vinegar.0

Try Bubbies brand. They make prganic kosher dill pickles, sauerkraut etc. I think it's only 230 mg of sodium per 1/2 cup.
it's really good...I think they have a pretty good website with their product listings too.0 -
Why don't you just make it "regular" pastrami sandwich and add some tomato, lettuce, and maybe a little pickle instead of just the sauerkraut?0

They posted a link in their post with a picture of their diary...No need to look at their actual one.0 -
I love Mt. Olive Sugar Free Sweet Baby Gherkins. They are not "low sodium," but are lower in salt0

I provided the URL for my lunch in first post0 -
what about roasted or sauteed slaw mix.. or you could try rinsing regular kraut to get some of the salt off0

I checked,, vinager has ZERO sodium while one cup chopped cabbage has 16mg. 1/4 cup is 4mg, so that is 1,996mg reduction there!
This is really something,, I can cook therefore, I can make! Thank you all for the idea! Now I can go back to my favorite sandwich soon. Meanwhile, while it is being "brewed", I'll look for other sandwich.0 -
I think you need to look at other brands. I'm not finding any that are anywhere near 2000mg of sodium for 1/4 cup.0

And 16 TBSP isn't 1/4 cup, it's 1 cup. So according to your entry, 1 cup has 2000mg.0

OMG, i really screw up big time! Let me go fix it and be 1,500 less! Thank you for catching it!0 -
now that 500mg is such a pretty number,, isn't it?
Thank you sun33082 for catching my error. Now I feel so much better. :bigsmile:0 -
Polka brand sauerkraut only has 90 mg of sodium per 1/2 cup, and it is tasty. I buy it in a little shop where I live, so I am not sure what retail chains might carry it.0

I agree, try rinsing it, or sauteeing cabbage and add vinegar. If not, maybe try a different brand or use a little less and drink lots of water!0
