Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, known for its unique sticky texture and strong aroma. Rich in nutrients, natto is an excellent source of protein, vitamins such as K2, and minerals like iron and calcium, making it a powerhouse for bone health and cardiovascular support. The fermentation process also enhances gut health by promoting beneficial probiotics. Despite its divisive taste, natto is widely recognized for its health benefits, including boosting digestion and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. However, due to its high sodium content, it may be less suitable for individuals on low-salt diets. Commonly enjoyed over steamed rice or mixed into various recipes, natto exemplifies Japan's focus on nutrient-dense, cultured foods within its cuisine.
