    Classic Royal

    The original purple kraut. No heat, all depth.

    The jar that started Purple Gut. Purple cabbage ferments into that signature violet brine, with garlic and ginger layering in a savory depth you cannot fake with vinegar. There is no chili at all, so it is the ferment we hand to kids, skeptics and anyone who wants the living cultures without the burn.
