About Fermented soybeans

Fermented soybeans, often known as natto in Japanese cuisine, are a traditional food originating from Japan. Made by fermenting whole soybeans with Bacillus subtilis bacteria, they are renowned for their sticky texture and pungent aroma. A powerhouse of nutrition, fermented soybeans are rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins like K2, which supports bone and heart health. They also contain probiotics that promote gut health and enhance digestion. Fermentation reduces anti-nutrients present in soybeans, improving nutrient absorption. However, their strong flavor and smell may not appeal to everyone, and moderation is important for individuals with soy allergies or sensitivities. Fermented soybeans are a staple in Japanese breakfasts and can be enjoyed with rice or incorporated into various dishes for an umami boost. Their unique combination of nutrients and probiotics makes them a standout option for those seeking nutritious, functional foods.
