Natto (fermented soybeans) is a superfood that is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and probiotics. However, some people stay away from this particular super food because of its typically strong smell and slimy texture. The Freeze-Dried Natto, produced by the esteemed Miyagi Prefecture natto maker, Kawaguchi Natto Co., Ltd., offers a milder smell and a crunchy texture while retaining the nutritious benefits of natto. Crafted using quality, non-GMO soybeans sourced locally, it is made using a special natto-making method developed by Dr. Muramatsu in 1912, resulting in a distinct and delightful natto flavor. The "hikiwari" style of preparation involves roughly crushing the soybeans and removing the skins before fermentation, giving the Freeze-Dried Natto the appearance and texture of crushed peanuts, as well as making it easy to use. This versatile product can be mixed into fried rice or pasta, used as omelet fillings, sprinkled over salads, grilled dishes, or cooked rice, and even used in desserts such as cookies, cakes, or ice cream. The listing is for one 65-g bottle of Hikiwari Kawaguchi Freeze Dried Crispy Crushed Natto (fermented soybean). Free shipping!
