Natto

This traditional Japanese food is packed with a wealth of benefits, including many health benefits. As a superfood, it's easy to see why it's a popular choice for vegetarians. It contains nine grams of fiber per cup, and can reduce cholesterol and prevent plaque build-up in the arteries. It also contains high levels of vitamin K2, which is linked to a lower risk of coronary heart disease. This is another reason to add natto to your diet.

Notes

It is often difficult to find good Japanese natto. Fortunately, there are many varieties available in supermarkets around the country. While it is widely available, natto is still a local specialty in many parts of the country. Some brands have made natto more western-friendly by fermenting soybeans in a way that reduces their stickiness. This is a great choice for those who are new to eating natto for the first time.
