I showed this to my Japanese coworker and he says those are from one of the oldest sources of soybeans and you got a very good price on them, same as he would pay. He never tried it that way and wasn’t sure how to eat it and suggested trying it in miso soup. Thanks for the work as always
Raw vegans always look so youthful..I'm sold
Well besides the low fat fruitarian sun addicts yea
This is a very good video John thank you.
Be mindful that soy (I've read) is possibly one of the most common gmo foods out there. So stick to organic if you do decide to eat soy.
Microbes can possibly breakdown pesticides, though I image it depends of the species. Definitely sum types of fungus can breakdown a variety of man made toxins. You can make natto with any beans, I make my own natto out of black beans which smell worse but taste better than soy natto. As a plus u can turn it into salsa after fermentation.
@Okra can you please provide an updated link to the Freeze dried Natto.
Soybeans fermented into Natto how much do u eat like a T a day or ? would u add it to a soup? or take it on emtpy stomach
John, do you consider other traditionally fermented soy products healthy? Like miso and soy sauce, which are likewise fermented, traditionally for years, with a (different) fungus (koji, a.k.a. aspergillus oryzae).
Paelorian probably if they werent so salty
Love your enthusiasm!
👍💚
Are you of Japanese descent?
I'm slow to the table. Starting to ferment soy for health. Good to know your into natto.
Fresh natto has live bacteria and I feel like freeze-dried misses that; the bacteria do in fact survive into the intestine when eaten live. I really wonder about the viability of the bacteria in the freeze dried stuff.
Ok so I have been to Japan a lot and i have tried tried tried to eat this and i could not get past the slime or the smell and i know how good it is for you i can not envision a way to blend it with another raw food i have seen it suggested to ear it with brown rice. Any other suggestions?
Once upon a time I was like you--tried several times to eat natto and despite being determined to like it (because of the health benefits) I just. could. not. stomach. it. Then, I did a google search--something to the effect of "how can the Japanese eat this f-ing stuff?" and discovered that the secret is to "mix-mix." Mixing the natto somehow helps to lessen the "funk." The Japanese will also typically add green onion, ginger and a bit of soy and then mix. Needless to say, I tried all of the above and also added some minced garlic--and to my surprise it was actually quite good! So don't give up!
John we're can I buy good freeze dried natto?
Where can I buy natto?
Would be nice to see "natto recipe for newbies" from you)
Look for RUclips video by Natto Dad
What about Miso? Isn't that made, and can be eaten raw?
Cooked
Yes Miso can be eaten raw. People make a miso dip. If you do cook with it use a lower temperature so as not to burn up all the beneficial bacteria in the miso.
I really appreciate if you can comment on Dr. Gundry's book "The Plant Paradox" and your opinion on plant lectins. According to Dr. Gundry, a lot of plants are full of lectins.
Every food have its own set of pros and cons. Everyone wants to make a certain nutrient or way of processing food "bad". Lectins are good and bad. In small amounts they are ANTI disease. In large amounts they are not good. Overall, Im not a fan of Dr. Gundys recommendations. I believe its important to have a wide variety of foods so you never get too much of any one "plant toxin".
Hello John, your awesome! Im not a big fan of soybeans :( what brand for k2 supplement do you recommend(if you have any) love your videos
ywuzi barajas - I’m not John obviously lol but look for any reputable brand that offers it in the MK7 version as opposed to the MK4 version. Mk7 stays in your system longer so you need less of it making it a better bang for your buck. 150 - 300mcg MK7/K2 seems to be most often recommend from what I’ve come across... along with 2-5k iu vitamin D3 daily
Rolling Vegan - that was really nice of you, thanks for taking the time appropriated
@@USCyclist Any brands you recommend?
@@niellalien Hi, the brand I've been using the last few years is "Now" 100 mcg mk7.. I take two most days of the week along with 5k iu vitamin D3. It's usually around $10-$15 depending on if it's on sale.. Cheers
Unpasteurized miso is also good for you.
Poop after you eat McDonalds smells nasty - hahaah! 😂😂😂 literally laughing out loud
Please update the links. They don't work anymore.
Thank you so much ; where can I buy the Bacteria to make the Natto beans ?
Starting to loooove natto!!
whole food is ok but soy protein ( especially isolate ) has the least concentration of phytoestrogens -> has the least hormonal effect
I love natto! Oishii~!
You tell people to eat fermented foods but what about the studies linking fermented foods (such as kimchi) to stomach cancer? Any thoughts?
Conga Pi - Great question. I always wonder about this too when I come across the “benefits” of fermented food. Unpasteurized fermented organic miso doesn’t seem to raise risks, and is what I go with a few times a week to flavor some meals... doesn’t contain K2 unfortunately however. Got to go with natto or supplement for the K2.
Check out Dr. Gregor on RUclips , he had a video explaining the link to stomach cancer and Koreans. It has to do with all the salt in the diet.
How much Natto should you eat for high blood pressure? Great video on something I should be eating thanks. Got some from the Japan Market in Vegas today
I have made Natto (Lacto bacillus Subtillis Natto etc) found on the straw of Rice as well as our healthy skin...grew it on Fava Beans, Mung, Aduki, Black Soybeans, Goat-Milk as well as several varieties of soybeans/ could not get it going on sprouted beans tho ..not yet.....if you have issues with?? raw food being compromised lifestyle just think of the substrate as soil...comment below is typical of OCD behavior with quite of few vegans, vegetarians, raw food-isms that think of consumption of "foodstuffs" as a Religion...if you are healthy and I am mean really healthy you should be able to handle eating a automobile tire without an issue. Remember you are 90% other critters within that have food preferences.
Microbiota see lectures by Dr Zachary Bush
The human microbiota is made up of trillions of cells, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The biggest populations of microbes reside in the gut, skin and genitals.
The microbial cells and their genetic material, the microbiome, live with humans from birth. This relationship is absolutely necessary and vital to all mammalian health..closer you are to a natural lifestyle = healthy microbiome....
The microbiota is critical for nutrition, immunity, and effects on the brain / behavior. Lack of a healthy microbiome results in diseases that cause a disturbance in the normal balance of microbes and brain chemicals.
Watermelon Seeds have Vit K. Natto 4 me > Soybeans are fine steamed.
I make my own with organic beans and the bacteria that you can buy
Where would I be able to buy the bacteria to make National beans ? Thanks 🙏🏻
Sorry meant to say Natto Beans 😆
Can we date?
The box says from right to left. Sesame seed dressing. Yuzu “Japanese lime” sauce. Sesame rice topping powder.
The 7 foods people with food allergies should avoid are Corn, Dairy, Egg, Gluten, Peanuts, Soybeans, and Sugar according to J.J. Virgin
Gluttons should avoid gluten.
this vit K is not available even in raw meat and raw milk cheese etc.... organ meats? only way is Natto?
The Medical Medium says to avoid corn and soy grown in the U.S. because it's pretty much all GMO!
Do however drink your pure celery juice and eat your wild blueberries.... Top #2 and #1 superfoods
on Planet Earth ;)
What about estrogen?

You guys In other words go to Japan and watch how made you guys. You guys.
Huh?

Thank you John....!
What natto do you eat now? Megumi's gone out of business.

The #NattoChallenge
I like natto with kimchi, garlic, and raw egg yolk over rice or sliced pork, or poke, for a creamy effect. Add some nori or wakame seaweed salad on the side. Nutrient dense. Something about natto that cuts my meat cravings, doesn't happen with nuts or other beans. Still eat meat, preferably fatty fish, local farm chicken, sliced lamb or pork loin, and add the natto.
I'm a soy boy.
SOY is an absolutely excellent product...
For people looking to shrink their nut sacks & die.
I injected 1 soy and i died
New too
You can make your own Natto.. just source soy beans locally. and get the starter kit.
john please learn about alkaline NON HYBRID foods =)
*wipes on his pants*
soy boys
still confused how eating rotten food is good for you.
Kyle amazing*😂 welp not all of them but if carefully prepared yeah
Kyle
Lol.
The part of your digestion system that helps you absorb nutrients from food is the healthy bacteria in your gut. Properly fermented foods are full of the good bacteria. Add some new good bacteria to your gut on a semi regular basis and your health should improve especially if you eat a diet that helps to maintain the healthy bacteria in your gut.
You really did not convince me by this video my friend.There are many other fermented foods that will do exactly the same thing and watching the way we were eating was not very appealing at all. I hate slimy food . I love soya beans but what I’m seeing here is very uninspiring.Perhaps the new product I would try.Thanks
Omg, brush your hair! Lol.
Andrea Wisner I was gonna say get a hair cut but I’m hairdresser lol
why? so he looks like a conformed robot. lol.
health
Lol.
Not to be mean but it always looks greasy too. 😅
"They have lots of fiber...". What an ignorant statement. Coocked food has fiber cells destroyed. I prefer my fiber from fresh fruits and vegetables. Beans have high molecule protein that is known to cause auto immune reaction of the body. With this video you lost me. Keep eating cooked food, bro. If i need cooked food there are plenty of other video channels around just for that.
I agree, cooking can negatively (or in rare instances positively) affect nutrients in a food. Despite cooking beans, they still have more fiber than most foods American's eat such as animal products and processed foods. Im personally not eating the natto for the fiber, I eat fresh and raw veggies and fruits for most of my fiber. I eat the natto specifically for the Vitamin K2 and Nattokinase, which are both deficient in a raw vegan diet.
Despite having "reduced" fiber in the natto, I must say I did have an excellent BM the day after I ate the freeze dried natto. There are MANY types of fiber that have been identified, and not all are created equal. I prefer to have a wide variety of fiber in my diet. Every food has its own list of pros and cons. I strive to be balanced in my approach. Take it from a 23 year raw foodist, not all cooked foods are bad, although some are WORSE than others. Nutrients in Beans when cooked and cultured by the bacteria are better broken down then other methods. Still some people may have issues with them.
Val Rawfoodsky - Hey Val watch the video, he’s not consuming the fermented soy for the fiber.. and if you want info on totally raw eating there are plenty of other video channels around for that, you can always go elsewhere.. bro.
Soy lowers testosteron significantly, i don’t mean it in a jerky way but you don’t really look manly, i’m sure if you made diet changes it will change you in a good way.
French Viking If that was the case every Asian would walk around with boobs...
Gabriela One It has nothing to do with boobs, good try though.
that is mostly an urban myth/pseudoscience no doubt seen as a threat to the Dairy Industry...take a few minor facts and blow it out of context...soaking them sprout it a bit ...get the anti-nutrients reduced to insignificance..then how you prepare it..or use or etc etc will determine its function in your organism....then don't consume anything habitually.. that is anything...the dose becomes the enemy of proliferation of a healthy lifestyle.
French Viking men has more testosterone and women more estrogen...when women grow facial hair has to do with too much testosterone or when men take estrogen they grow boobs.
Gabriela One Lol i knew that, but that’s not the point, people don’t always directly grow boobs by eating estrogenic promoting foods like soy. So your first comment is not valid.
