Its not what i expected. I added water and turned out it was good but i added too much water folliwed instruction..if i ordered it again i would cut back on the amount of water to rehydrate.

I love Natto as a quick and healthy snack. They are high in probiotics, which as we know are essential for a healthy gut biome, aka our "2nd brain". The smell, texture and taste are all enticing. I would eat them more often, but they are very expensive per ounce, otherwise I would be giving Natto five stars, and eating it daily.

Great way to ingest natto without taste and "slick" feel. Now eating natto daily for gut health!

This was the first natto I tried, and I thought it was thoroughly disgusting in ways that defy description in the English language. But, no choice; I'm taking it for the mk7 because I have abnormal, extremely early onset osteoporosis, and I'm under orders to get all the "bone" vitamins from food sources on top of the mountainous piles of supplements I'm also taking. So I landed on just grabbing a couple handfuls straight out of the bag and chomping on it dry just to get it down every day.

Now, while that description might sound like it wouldn't quite warrant this five-star review... hear me out. Because I recently purchased a different brand of batto that was larger, for a better price.

Natto is natto, right?

NATTO SO FAST.

When the new bag arrived, I performed my now-usual osteoporotic self-flagellative routine and grabbed a handful, popped it in my mouth, started chewing, and.... gagged it right back out.

It was... it was... I can't even describe how it was. Ick. ICK. How can natto, which is already indescribably bad, be made indescribably worse?? However that is, the cheaper natto brand figured out how to do it. I can only speculate, such as wondering if they perhaps fermented THEIR natto in cat urine in an effort to improve the taste, but the attempt sadly backfired and made a bad thing worse.

Downside: Wasted money on that other natto, and natto ain't cheap.

Upside: Made THIS brand of natto taste like carnival cotton candy by comparison and I'm sorry I wasn't appropriately appreciative before. I've left the other bag of natto sitting next to it on the counter so every time I grab this one, I'm reminded to be grateful as I choke it down.

I'm so surprised how good this is! I start at night and follow the directions to only add enough water to cover the beans. Then I leave it in the refrigerator overnight. It's perfect for lunch time. When you remove it make sure you stir it around and you'll get that texture you're looking for. I cannot get organic Nato where I live and shipping it in a glass container is too expensive. This is perfect and you can make exactly how much you want!
