JessiccaThe Fermented Soy Food and Its Benefit – Part 3
June 3rd 2009 04:26
After the pickled tofu and miso, I continue to recommend you another fermented soy food, Natto.
Based on its name, you know that it’s another Japanese traditional foods. It made from fermented soybeans and it’s one of the most popular breakfast types for the Japanese.
Natto is normally sold in small polystyrene containers, which is included with a small packet of soil sauce (shoyu) and mustard (karashi).
The medical researchers discovered that there’s one substance, pyrazine who giving the natto the distinct smell, has the ability to reduce blood clotting, thrombosis, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism or even stroke! In the latest studies, Taiwanese scientists found that the nattokinase in natto could be used to prevent or cure the Alzheimer’s disease.
Also, natto has been proven effective to:
• Prevent cancers,
• Lowering the high cholesterol level,
• Strengthen your immune system,
• Prevent obesity,
• Improve digestion,
• Slow down the aging problem.
However, the natto has a very strong ammoniacal smell, which is similar with the strong smell from the raw cheese. Some people might think it’s totally gross and disgust to eat the sticky yet strong smell food.
Go to the local market, buy one natto and taste it yourself! Love it or hate it? Remember to speak out your comment about it…

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend you eat Natto as breakfast, especially if you cannot withstand with the exotic taste.
Thanks for dropping by, Michelle
