Make your own Japanese natto at home with these starter spores from Cultures For Health. Natto is fermented soybeans with loads of health benefits, such as probiotics and enzymes to promote good gut health, as well as iron, vitamin K, fiber, potassium, calcium, and more, earning it the coveted title of superfood. Natto possesses a sticky, gooey texture, somewhat like melted mozzarella. Its flavor has been described as an aged brie with nutty, earthy undertones, while its smell is much stronger; however, it's a very adaptable ingredient that complements a variety of other tastes. Our natto starter includes 4 packets of starter spores, along with detailed instructions. Each packet yields 6 cups of natto from only 2 cups of beans, for a total of 24 cups of natto. It's usually made with soybeans, but you can make natto using many other high-protein beans, such as garbanzo beans, black beans, or adzuki beans. This fermenting kit makes a great gift for any vegetarian or vegan, DIY hobbyist, cooking enthusiast, or simply yourself. For all natural food that's fun to make and full of probiotics, Cultures for Health is here to get you started.
