Sauerrüben is white autumn turnip (Brassica rapa ssp. rapa) chopped fine and left to sour in a barrel the way sauerkraut is made. In Tyrol, where it is called Rübenkraut, the turnips are chopped to about the size of rice grains, stamped into a wooden barrel, covered and lightly weighted, and the kraut is fully fermented after five to six weeks.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceTyrolean farm practice has no fixed amounts, and the Tyrolean sources read do not mention salt. The amounts above are one home recipe for Sauerruben on a sausage-making site (1 kg turnips to 25 g salt), so they describe that recipe and not Tyrol.

Sauerrüben is white autumn turnip (Brassica rapa ssp. rapa) chopped fine and left to sour in a barrel the way sauerkraut is made. In Tyrol, where it is called Rübenkraut, the turnips are chopped to about the size of rice grains, stamped into a wooden barrel, covered and lightly weighted, and the kraut is fully fermented after five to six weeks. Made in 4 steps over 35 days – 42 days. The longest step, cover, weight lightly and ferment, takes 35–42 days (Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture and…) and runs at 20 °C (Meats and Sausages (meatsandsausages.com) 2026). Salt is 2.5 % (Meats and Sausages (meatsandsausages.com) 2026). Lactic acid bacteria; a review lists Lactobacillus plantarum, L. hilgardii, L. coryniformis, L. maltaromicus, L. viridescens and Pediococcus parvulus for fermented turnip shreds (brovada and Sauerrüben), from a study of the Italian brovada does most of the fermenting.
Made like sauerkraut, but from turnip root instead of cabbage, and in Tyrol chopped to rice-grain size rather than shredded. The Italian brovada is also fermented turnip, but the turnips are layered with grape skins [ashaolu2020].
For kraut-style ferments in general, the US National Center for Home Food Preservation says kraut may not ferment below 60 °F, may turn soft above 75 °F, and needs scum removed if jars are used as weights [nchfp-kraut].
Hazards the sources name: Enterobacteriaceae, held back as the acid rises; starter cultures inhibited them earlier than natural fermentation in brined turnip slices (a nearby product).
The Austrian ministry's register of traditional foods says fermented turnips (Rübenkraut) were an important winter food, and that the Roman writer Columella described keeping rapa by lactic fermentation. In the Wildschönau valley the fermented juice of the turnip is distilled into the Krautinger spirit, a right Maria Theresa gave to 51 farmers [bmluk-krautinger].
