Homemade natto — your digestive tract will thank you even if others in your house may not

1. I like to think I’m a pretty adventurous eater, but natto is one of the things I do not believe I will ever try. I just can’t get past the appearance of it.

2. Homemade natto is the best! Nicely done!

3. Instant pot natto!

4. Great googily moogily, that looks so good. I’ve never tried fermenting my own natto since it’s so easy to buy. Is it worth it? Does it make a significant difference?

5. LPT: Soak whatever dishes/utensils you used with your natto in some warm water, dishwashing soap and baking soda for ~20 minutes. All the slimy stuff will just rinse right off. Works with many other a pain to clean food related stuff too.

6. To be true I don’t find Natto so bad. Sure it looks strange with the stringy consistence. What put me off is more the taste. It is not per se bad but not something I would eat regularly. Kinda like, and this is for lack of a better comparision, like melted plastic is mixed in it.

7. Do you separate the egg yolk and just use that to top the natto? You just mix it in raw?

8. Yum!!! I really wish the sushi restaurants in the U.S. made natto rolls, or just had natto on the menu!
