About Japanese natto

Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans, known for its strong aroma and sticky, slimy texture. It is a staple in Japanese cuisine, often enjoyed with rice, condiments like soy sauce or mustard, and sometimes topped with green onion. Rich in nutrients, natto is an excellent source of protein, vitamins K2 and B6, iron, and dietary fiber. Its fermentation process also produces nattokinase, an enzyme linked to heart health and improved circulation. Natto contains probiotics that support digestion and gut health, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Despite its nutritional benefits, its unique taste and texture may not appeal to everyone, and its high sodium content, when eaten with traditional condiments, is a consideration for those monitoring salt intake. Whether enjoyed for its health perks or its distinctive flavor, natto is a celebrated food in Japan with a growing reputation worldwide.
