Tag: Sauerkraut calories

According to the USDA, one-half cup of canned sauerkraut, including the solids and liquids, contains a very low number of calories, making it a great addition to a healthy diet. Its minimal caloric content comes with a significant nutritional punch, including beneficial probiotics and essential vitamins.

A classic corned beef Reuben on rye bread can contain anywhere from 500 to over 800 calories, depending heavily on the preparation and portion size. This high-calorie count is due to the rich combination of corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, all served between slices of buttered rye bread.
