TALCUFON Japanese Freeze-Dried Natto Beans, Fresh Natto Fermented Soybean 4 Oz, Non-GMO, Vegan, Plant Protein Ready to Eat Natto Snack 114G

Yep, it tastes real, it is the Real thing 😃 and I'm so glad for that, after spending money in vain on 'Natokinase' pills that tasted just simple rice powder 😑

I really don't care for natto, but it's a good source of protein and I'm trying to get in more probiotics, so I decided to give this a try.If you don't like natto, this isn't going to do much to change your mind. Rehydrated as per the directions on the package, it doesn't exactly taste like fresh natto, but it isn't exactly pleasant, either. If you do like natto, you'll probably be disappointed by the subdued flavor and lack of texture. I'd recommend leaving it dried, and using it as a topping for a salad.

Natto is a Japanese dish that is packed with good probiotics and a super healthy food. It is very easy to prepare where only water is needed. Consistency is a bit sticky and the beans are small (not kidney bean size). Taste though is pretty bitter which was not for me. A family member ate it and didn't mind, helped their bowel movements.

Easy delicious and healthy will buy again over and over again

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It tastes awful. It is better to take it in capsules. It is supposed to be healthy.

Great

Didn’t rehydrate.

When you open the bag, it is S-T-I-N-K-Y. I followed the instructions to take 2 teaspoons or 10 gram of freeze-dried natto beans from the bag, put them in a bowl, fill with water just enough to cover them, and put it in the fridge for 2-3 hours. So I put the beans a little after 9:30 AM and because of work meetings didn't pull them out of the fridge until 2 PM to eat lunch. By then 4.5 hours had passed, so I guess that contributed to the extra soft texture and mushiness? The natto did get a little sticky, but it was still a little watery. Also, two teaspoons was too little in amount - the frozen packs I get from Asian grocery stores are probably at least 4 times the amount. The freeze-dried nattos also had no flavor, they were really bland. I figured the other seasoning my rice bowl would probably help, so I ate it anyway for gut health... but I think I'll just stick to the usual frozen natto packs.
