Natto Salad

Natto Salad
“Natto is a traditional Japanese comfort food made of cooked whole soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis bacteria. For over a thousand years, natto has been a staple food in Japan, long revered for its nutritive value and many health benefits. Today, natto remains a popular breakfast, snack or side dish, typically eaten with a bowl of rice. Ubiquitous in Japan, natto is virtually unknown elsewhere.
 Natto is a food that promotes gastrointestinal health, and is also rich in nutrients shown to support cardiovascular (nattokinase) and bone health.
 THE BEST SOURCE OF VITAMIN K2 (MK-7) - gets calcium out of your arteries and into your bones. Natto is loved for its unique flavor and aroma -- savory, umami-rich and pungent (quite similar to a deliciously stinky cheese). 
 As a living food, natto is full of active probiotic bacteria, and as with other naturally fermented foods (e.g. wine, cheese, sauerkraut), the taste of natto evolves and intensifies with time. Freshly made natto has a milder flavor than natto that has been aged for a few weeks”.
