I fucking LOVE natto. Tried it for the first time in Japan, been hooked ever since. Finally found a supplier back home, and have made it a breakfast stable.
However, it's fermented soi beans. I've read about it, and apparently the fermentation process removes the shitty aspects of soi. But what are Jow Forumss thoughts on it?
Staple*.
Nothing wrong with it if you can handle it. I can't stand it, personally.
it looks like if a cat ate cat food and puked it back up.
I could eat 6 packs a day if I could afford it, honestly. Must be because I'm Scandinavian. I've grown up on weird, smelly foods.
My love for natto does impress Japanese people, though.
The first time I had it was on accident. I mistook it for uni at a revolving sushi joint. Most foul thing I ever tasted.
I have since then acquired a taste for it and have grown to love it.
Great source of vitamin K2. A vitamin which most of us are deficient in and critical in health. Don't know the bioavailability though.
That shit is disgusting
I got the same reaction with my love for anything pickled. Based dad being born in singapore and growing up on pickles.
>t. fatties
Keep eating that pretty food they show on the McDonalds ads.
My breakfast is
>greek yoghurt with homemade ginger concentrate (fresh ginger, lemon, and honey, boiled and reduced)
>pickled herring straight from the tin, 5-8 bits
>a pack of natto
>green tea
I've never felt healthier.
Do you mix it with raw eggs? Over rice, people have been telling me that raw eggs run the risk of getting sick
it looks like someone cummed all over your beans. What's it taste like? I eat tempeh sometimes, from what I understand that's also fermented basedbeans
>be me
>always willing to try new foods
>decide to buy natto
>lookup for some recipes
>found fried rice with natto and egg
>soundsgood.jpg
>smells bad while cooking
>my whole flat smells like gym locker rooms for three days
>didn’t even finish half of the meal
>mfw
I probably fucked up something but I still wanna try it again for some reason tho.
Depends on the country, and freshness of the eggs.
American eggs have higher risk, because they're brainlets and wash the membrane off the eggs
The strings are a form of polyglutamic acid, an amino acid (non-essential).
The taste is somewhat bland with a light fermented taste. Most packages you buy will have a packet of some kind of onions sauce, and possibly a packet of spicy mustard.
I don't believe people who "love it", no one loves Brussel sprouts or carrots, they simply like it.
In Japan, it's dirt cheap, and with low salaries and high rent, it makes for good breakfast, especially since malnutrition is common there.
It has has something in it that increases blood flow, so it may prevent or slow down some hair-loss in people who have poor circulation on their scalp.
It really does smell like old protein shake mixed with old socks.
>no one loves Brussel sprouts or carrots, they simply like it
cuticle
Brussels sprouts are without a doubt the best winter vegetable possible.
Brussels are my go to veg you child
>recipie
Literally my gf puts natto on cooked rice and adds a dash of onions sauce
Shes a nip so i reckon its right
I pay a 200% markup for this shit. I LOVE it. Not my fault you were raised on shitty, non-fermented, non-pickled foods.
>ginger concentrate (fresh ginger, lemon, and honey, boiled and reduced)
I gotta try that
>no one loves Brussel sprouts
Fuck you
I'm sorry that we don't want our eggs covered in bird shit
I eat them like potato chips they are amazing roasted
>I fucking LOVE natto
how much your female hormones increased since eating it?
>I fucking LOVE natto
u r FUCKING retard
Here's my recipe:
>250g honey
>250-300g fresh ginger
>2 lemons (must be organic, as you boil the peel)
>add 1.5l of water to a sauce pot and bring it to a boil while stirring in the honey
>cut the lemons into half-moon slices, remove the seeds, and separate the flesh from the peel
>turn down the heat to a simmer and add in the lemons
>let it simmer for about 2 hours without a lid until the flesh is boiled out and the peels start sinking to the bottom
>meanwhile, shred the ginger as finely as you can
>remove the peels (you can save them for other foods, really nice and candied at this point) and reduce to about 1.2l of water (if it isn't already)
>add the ginger and boil it up for about 10 minutes
>reduce heat to a simmer, and let it sit with a lid on until it's reduced to a bit under a liter
>cool, decant, enjoy
A portion that size will last you 2-3 weeks. Be aware that it'll make the entire house smell like ginger.
None. Supposedly the fermentation process breaks down the phytoestrogens.
Pickles are the best. Pickled fish is fine. I eat all kinds of “weird” stuff. And I will tell you: natto is fucking disgusting. Even the Japanese don’t really like it. Kids have to be acclimated to it.
Brussels and carrots are legit amazing. You are a retard.
Fuck you, I fucking love brussel sprouts, they dont get the love they deserve.
>phytoestrogens
Last time I checked (ie read a bunch of abstracts/papers) science said Jow Forums is throwing a baseless retard fit because it has the word oestrogen in it. Been saying this for ages, but most of the board don't bother checking anything and just parrot whatever they read here.
It contains vitamin K2. This is very beneficial for your bones and your arteries because it improves your body's deposition of calcium.
>soi
post tiddies
Can confirm this is right, there's also other variations
I love carrots...
>I eat weird disgusting garbage
>This means I eat in a healthy way
>muh papers
At some point in the last 60 years we abandoned real life experience and followed what we're told instead. You can see the difference between craft beer enthusiasts and an actual man.
Brussel sprouts are fucking hella good.
Basically just french fries with a little micros.
>I eat weird
Yup.
>disgusting
Depends on your taste.
>garbage
Absolutely not.
nuTto
Wow I was gonna wing it.
Thanks user!
the soi thing is just some retard misreading how phytoestrogens work. eat natto if you like it
>makes a 666 sign
thanks for warning us about those toxic foods
Holy hell that is a LOT of honey, my GF have been doing the
same recipie for us but with like 50 g honey tops
looks disgusting besides the natto and green tea
