It can be used as a base for soups or as a dumpling filling. Saurkraud is made of fermented cabbage. The cultivated cabbage belongs to the same <em>Brassica<\/em> family as the black mustard (<em>Brassica nigra<\/em>) and wild (field) mustard (<em>Brassica arvensis<\/em>). Wild Brassicas have a stronger taste than their cultivated cousins, with noticeable mustard and broccoli flavors (broccoli belongs to the same family). They can be fermented in the same way as cultivated cabbage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-2434\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"2434\"
