Hello Sky
Thanks for sharing your story.
I can appreciate that the small is pretty bad, and opening it in an office might leave people wondering that you dropped a bomb!
I'm glad you also mentioned the US shelves, because my experience with sauerkraut is good old fashioned organic varieties that I can source locally. It may be hard for a lot of other people to find the right sources.
Wholefoods sounds like the right place. I did visit one in Hawaii many years ago. They seem to have an endless variety of every single product known to man!
Good luck on your journey Sky. Let me know how you go.
