Yummiest Pickled Cabbage: Probiotics Made in Your Kitchen

Once the cabbage mixture has released some liquid, pack it tightly into a clean glass jar. Press down firmly to remove any air pockets and ensure the vegetables are submerged in their own juices.
If necessary, add a little filtered water to ensure the cabbage is completely covered. Leave about an inch of space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion during fermentation.
Fermentation Time:
Seal the jar with a lid and place it in a cool, dark place. Let it ferment for about 3-7 days, depending on your taste preference. Check the cabbage daily, pressing it down if needed to keep it submerged in the brine.
Taste the cabbage after a few days. When it reaches your desired tanginess, move it to the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.
