My neighbor said my sauerkraut looked 'sad' because I was shredding the cabbage too thin

They argued thick cuts give better crunch and texture, while I always thought finer shreds fermented faster. I switched to a mandoline on the widest setting for my last batch and the difference was huge. Anyone else get a piece of advice that flipped your whole method?

I read somewhere that thicker shreds actually hold more crunch during fermentation, which makes sense now.

Nah, thin shreds get way crispier.

Honestly, the shred size changes the whole crunch game.

Yeah @wright.leo, that's true for a lot of little things people don't notice.
