True love is agreeing to try your wifeās first batch of (maybe slightly sketchy) natto... I was excited to make this for the first time on my own but didnāt get as strong of the classic stringiness as I would have liked. ā ā The smell of ammonia and earthy taste were all there but the beans may have been a little too dry to produce the proper stringiness that provide the classic mucilaginous texture. If youāve natto tried it, Iād recommend it, but itās definitely more of an acquired taste so donāt be surprised if youāre put off by it. Natto is a complete protein and rich in vitamin K. In a nutshell, itās a superfood, meaning super good for you. And so much for trying to get an extra dramatic effect using black soybeans... I will try again, I will natto be dissuaded! ā ā #natto #fermentationispatience #fermentedlegumes #fermentedbeans #fermentationliteracy #guthealth #microbes #microbesatwork #happygut #fermentationwithoutborders #steadinghome #homemadenatto #kimchi #badpuns #foodpuns ā view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2UjYnAK
