Sauerkraut is made by pressing cabbage layered with salt in a crock and
fermenting it. I would suspect it was discovered by accident when someone
was attempting ot preserve it with salt.

Dembinska lgives part of a sauerkraut recipe:
Mikolaj Reg in "Zywot czlowieka pozciwego" (1568) describes a sauerkraut
method: "Having romoved the outside leaves of some nice
heads of cabbage, cut them in half and fit them neatly into a vat,
spreading beet chards & dill between the layers"
I don't know whether the original specifies the kind of brine to use...
