Cooked sauerkraut is not as healthy as non cooked sauerkraut but cooked sauerkraut is still healthy for you to eat.

However for the best health benefits of sauerkraut you should not heat it up because when you heat the sauerkraut up to 115 F or above the good bacteria in the fermented sauerkraut and probiotics are killed off.

Those probiotics and good bacteria is what makes the fermented sauerkraut healthy and provides you with the health benefits.

Eating non cooked sauerkraut provides the most healthy benefits and can help strengthen your immune system, improve your digestion, reduce your risk of certain diseases and even help you lose weight.

But even cooked sauerkraut is still health for you to eat but just not as healthy as it would be if not cooked.

Sauerkraut is best eaten on foods after you cook the foods.
