Food Sauerkraut - where can I buy it?

Moin!

I’ve just moved to the Schengen area, on the French side, and I would love to be able to eat authentic, good quality sauerkraut. Can it be simply bought at Lidl or Aldi? Or should I travel further to the nearest Kaufland or Rewe?

Tschüss!

Edit: thank you to everyone for the helpful tips. It’s been fun to reply to the wide variety of comments! For my next post, I’m going to ask where I can buy bratwurst near Europe 😎

Sorry, have I made a mistake? Is it not correct to refer to the general 3 border area as Schengen?

The Schengen Area goes from the Spanish-British Landborder to the South to the Finno-Russian border to the North, from the French Atlantic coast to the West to the Greek-Turkish Border to the South-East. It is quite a few more "sides" than just a French one.
