It’s INCREDIBLY good for you.
It’s sticky and smells exactly like a horrid FART.
The weird thing:
People who can tolerate it are CRAZY about it.
Oh look another “super food”. Really people, why do you keep believing this crap over and over and over and over. Every year same scam, different food.
I really like it.
Next generation natto As well as cardiovascular benefits, natto is a rich source of vitamin K2, which is important for bone health.
...
I take K2 in a pill and it’s worked miracles for me.
The other ones great 4u:
1. Soba noodles - made of buckwheat
2. Kombucha - Fermented drink, pretty pricey in the USA, it’s easy and fun to make after you get the scoby (disgusting looking starter thing)
If you could get hooked on these two (easy) paired with Natto (harder), it would be AMAZINGLY good for you.
Green tea, too, but less so.
Nattokinase pills (2000 iu) seem to do the same, without the sticky mess. OTOH, as an aficionado of nihonryori (Japanese cuisine), I don’t mind natto, or to put it another way, it does natto bother me.
It’s delicious and makes you feel amazing.
When my wife eats natto, I have to leave the room.
Spent 3 years in Japan and love the food. Except natto.
Just couldn’t get over the smell. And it tastes just like it smells.
Even a lot of Japanese won’t eat natto, mainly because they can’t stand the smell or dislike the slime. I understand you have to be from certain prefectures where it is customary to eat it. Unfortunately, my wife’s family is.
you eat ancient Chinese nattos if you want to.
just keep it to yourself.
I tried to like natto, really I did. I do everything I can for my health, but natto defeats me.
Besides,it’s hard to find. Got it a Uwajimaya, large terrific Asian mkt in Seattle, but I don’t live there now.
If I could find it powdered in a capsule, I’d buy it. Headed to AMZ now to investigate.
Please explain further..
I wonder if the fermented tofu I use in my Chinese cooking has the same benefits? Really delicious in dishes like twice-cooked pork with cabbage and a couple different types of chilis.
As it turns out, AMZ has many kinds of nattokinase in capsule form. I put the most popular in my cart. More than 500 excellent reviews, plus it is not very expensive.
Same people who dutch oven themselves.
After all, I LOVE "stinky tofu" that is common among the Chinese, but I don't dare eat it in public given too many people can't stand the smell.
And Asahi biiru acts as a liquid Brillo pad that scrubs out your guts and plants you in the benjo the next day, all day. The memories - all near death experiences...
Banzai!
