High histamine levels

Sauerkraut also contains a relatively high amount of histamine , a substance released into the blood during allergic reactions.
Therefore, it can intensify allergy symptoms when combined with other allergenic products.

In addition, the product is also rich in B vitamins , which can be undesirable if consumed excessively. According to Kovalkov, before consuming it regularly, it is wise to have your vitamin B levels tested — if they are too high, it is better to limit sauerkraut.

What about losing weight?

Sauerkraut is often included in weight loss diets because it is considered an almost “zero-calorie” product.
And that is indeed the case — the calorie content is minimal.

However, the specialist reminds us that the body also needs proteins, fats and carbohydrates to function properly.
Therefore, a diet based only on cabbage is ineffective and even harmful in the long term.

Sauerkraut is undoubtedly a healthy food, but as with any natural product, it is important to observe moderation and take into account individual health status.
