Here’s the surprising part: the tang holds up beautifully. Freezing won’t erase that funky, sour kick—it’s like time-travel for probiotics. The lactic acid that makes kraut taste divine doesn’t care about a little frostbite.
But—there’s always a but—if your kraut was on the edge of being too salty before freezing, that saltiness will remain. No escape. So taste it now, and if it’s borderline, consider diluting it with a splash of water before you freeze.
