Most regular store bought sauerkraut has been pasteurized which kills off the good bacteria known as probiotics.

You still get some health benefits from the pasteurized regular store bought sauerkraut but you get more health benefits from the non pasteurized sauerkraut that contains probiotics.

The sauerkraut you buy in the store should say whether it's been pasteurized or not and it's best to buy the non pasteurized sauerkraut to reap all the health benefits.

Or you can make your own sauerkraut if you're up to the task of fermenting the sauerkraut and it will be even healthier than the store bought sauerkraut and taste much better too.
