I likewise added charnushka, which is kind of a slightly smoky tasting relative of caraway inwards add-on to regular caraway. I actually liked how it came out. It tasted similar sauerkraut (obviously) precisely real fresh in addition to amongst a wonderful spice note. Perfect to role inwards whatever agency you'd role the store-bought stuff.
