Superkraut rice recipe


Japanese(nori rolls) meets German(sauerkraut) in Byron Bay(Superkraut)


We have been enjoying this amazing raw Superkraut created by Peace Love & Vegetables - a beautiful family in Byron Bay.

It's so easy to add to any type of food and also fun to experiment creating a new dish with!

The Superkraut tastes very familiar to me as I grew up with so many different kinds of fermented food & pickles. My mum used fermented foods almost for every meal which is very common in Japan. Similar to my partner who grew up with traditional sauerkraut in Germany. Even though this Superkraut is completely different to any of the Japanese or German fermented stuff we still feel very much related!

We've been making special rice with Seaweed Superkraut. We love making nori rolls, hand rolls, rice salad, rice balls with this special rice or just enjoy as it is. Our kids are absolutely loving this rice and can never get enough, which is great to see!
