NATTO

[BruceMuzz]

These fermented soy beans are one of the healthiest foods in the world.

High protein, no fat, no artificial anything.

Loaded with Vitamin K, and a very powerful natural blood thinner.

Very inexpensive.

Most of Japan’s 134 Million people eat Natto at least once a day - often for breakfast.

Westerners who try Natto often compare the taste to an aged cheese.

Have you tried it?

Nope, never tried it and actually, until you just posted about it, I had never even heard of it.

I'd never heard of it either. And, after a quick Google, I see it wouldnt be easy to find . It's suggested that Amazon would be the best source, through which it gets delivered in insulated boxes from Germany.  Although I reckon there would be food import issues since we left membership of the Union. 

 

FWIW, it's priced at £35 per kilo.

Handy if you are already taking blood thinning medication....just a thought 😁

Excellent point.

In Japan, Doctors warn patients that they cannot take blood thinners and eat Natto at the same time.

Using Natto to control blood pressure is a much healthier - and less expensive - option.

Natto is often sold frozen, in small styrofoam boxes.

In Japan, one portion sells for about US$ 0.50.
