Natto, a fermented soybean product, is considered a superfood due to its high protein, dietary fiber, and probiotic content. Some people avoid it because of its strong smell and slimy texture.
Freeze-Dried Natto, made by Kawaguchi Natto Co., Ltd. in Miyagi Prefecture, offers a milder smell and crunchy texture while retaining the nutritional benefits of natto. Made from high-quality, non-GMO soybeans using a special natto-making method developed by Dr. Muramatsu in 1912, the "hikiwari" style of preparation involves roughly crushing the soybeans and removing the skins before fermentation, resulting in a distinctive flavor and texture similar to crushed peanuts.
This versatile product can be used in various dishes such as fried rice, pasta, omelets, salads, grilled dishes, or desserts like cookies, cakes, and ice cream.
The listing is for one 65-g bottle of Hikiwari Kawaguchi Freeze Dried Crispy Crushed Natto (fermented soybean).
