Hi! Today, I will write about "Natto," which is a representative of Japanese food.
What do you think of "Natto"?
Odor? Is it sticky? Is it bad? is rotten?
I think there are various impressions.
And I think there are many people who are not good at or dislike it.
However, "Natto" is very nutritious and is a very good food for humans.
This is clear from scientific grounds. I will introduce such "Natto" in this article.
Soybeans are fermented with Bacillus natto. What is "Bacillus natto"? I think some people think that, so I will explain Bacillus natto.
Bacillus natto is a recent type that inhabits a lot of rice straw. It acts mainly on soybeans, fermenting soybeans under specific conditions and converting them into natto.
Bacillus natto is a beneficial bacterium for humans that activates good bacteria in the intestine and improves the intestinal environment while suppressing bad bacteria without losing to gastric acid. Next, I will introduce the benefits of eating "Natto".
Benefits of Natto for the body
・Rich in vitamin K.
・It is high in protein and low in calories.
・Prepare the intestinal environment.
・Effective for treating abdominal pain and diarrhea.
・It has the effect of dissolving blood clots in the blood.
・It has the effect of suppressing periodontal disease and tooth decay.
Of course, these effects are not absolute. There are individual differences.
Of particular note is the fact that it "dissolves blood clots in the blood." It is said that Natto is very effective at dinner because this effect is most exerted during sleep. Vitamin K also has the effect of strengthening bones and is also effective for osteoporosis.
Taboo when eating "Natto"
"Natto" is a very beneficial food for humans. However, depending on how you eat and the ingredients you eat together, the effect of "Natto" may disappear completely.
・Do not eat with hot ingredients.
Bacillus natto is vulnerable to high temperatures and dies. Therefore, if "Natto" is heated or put on hot food, it is difficult to obtain the healthy effect of Natto bacteria.
・Eat with raw eggs.
Raw egg whites have the effect of interfering with the absorption of Bacillus natto. This effect is only for raw egg whites, so if you mix only yolks with "Natto", there is no problem. There is no problem with egg whites as long as they are heated. Well, I don't think there are many countries other than Japan that have a culture of eating raw eggs (; ´∀ ｀)
On the contrary, there are some cases where the effect of "Natto" is doubled by contacting it with "Natto". I will introduce that.
・Kimchi
Escherichia coli in kimchi goes well with "Natto". The nutritional effect is doubled.
・Avocado
"Natto" is low in vitamin C. However, there are many in avocados. And since avocado does not have a component that inhibits Bacillus natto, it is compatible.
