I eat natto (fermented soy beans) every day. It's probably the cheapest and most healthy food you can buy in Japan. I used to hate the smell and texture, but force myself enough times made me gradually enjoy it.
- walthamstow 3y agoWhat benefits does it have over other fermented soy products that actually taste good like miso or shoyu, or Chinese dou chi?
- AnonC 3y agoNot GP. One of the benefits that I’ve read about is that natto is a very good source of Vitamin K (542% of DV). [1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natt%C5%8D#Nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natt%C5%8D#Nutrition
- spidersenses 3y agoStrange question, perhaps, but I'm curious because I always wanted to try Nattō: If you eat it regularly, do you also smell like it? I ask because people who eat a lot of garlic (or masala spice) often have strong body odor due to consuming these spices.
- famahar 3y agoI notice the smell a bit. Not sure if anyone else notices my body odor changing. It's pretty common to eat it here in Japan. Do you mean the odor clinging to clothes or some physiological smell change?
- Tor3 3y agoNatto looks somewhat.. strange. But I got used to it very quickly, I absolutely love rice with natto on top. Can't say I've ever noticed much smell.
