I have question how can you tell if the meat is enhanced? Dose the label say this?
thanks,

Yes i do. I made it for the first time last year per Shawn W's instructions. It's so easy to do. Maybe Shawn will post the recipe/procedure in the recipe section. It's shredded cabbage, salt and a little time is all really. For every 5 lbs of cabbage you sprinkle 3 TBS of Kosher or Sea Salt, add some fresh dill, pound it down really good in a crock and repeat. Keep doing layers of 5 lb of cabbage, salt and dill then pound it down till crock is 3/4 full. I have a 10, 6 and a 3 gallon crock. You can also use a food grade 5 gal plastic bucket if you don't have a crock.

In the crock for 8 - 10 weeks kraut. But i use saran wrap and a rubber band to seal off the crock thus no mold ewwww! kraut. :!: This is the new method of making kraut. I got no mold at all while it was fermenting. =D>[/quote:1pw1xjrt]Bryan S said:[quote="Susan Z":1pw1xjrt]Is that the EZ Kraut or the crock (scrape the mold off, eww) kraut?

Susan Z said:Yes, the label will say it---sometimes in really, really small print SOMEWHERE on the label. Something like:
Tenderness and moistness enhanced by 10% of a solution of water, salt, sodium phosphate and natural lemon juice concentrate."
or
Deep BastedTM by addition of up to 7% of a solution of water, sodium phosphates
or
"Moistness enhanced with up to an 8% solution*"
or
"Contains up to 7% of a solution to enhance juiciness and tenderness of water, salt, modified food starch, sodium phosphates and natural flavors."
Another brand of frozen bone-in turkey breasts reads:
"Injected with up to 15% of a solution to enhance juiciness. Solution ingredients: turkey broth, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, flavoring"
Watch for words like "basted", "enhanced", "injected", and "marinated". Look for fancy packages with recognizable brand names that use phrases like "always tender", "moist and juicy", "tender and juicy", "guaranteed tender", and "extra tender".
