I picked natto for my fermentation blog. I never knew natto had so many steps into making it. I didn’t even know what it was before this blog. Natto is a soybean in Japan. Natto is when the soybeans are soaked for 12-24 hours then they are steamed for 40 mins. After that they are fermented for up to 30 hours by bacillus subtilis in 40 celsius. In Japan this part of fermentation is called sumibi hakkou. Other types of food that are prepared using this method are used in Korean kimchi, Egyptian kishk, and many more foods throughout the world. Bacillus subtilis is the organism used for fermentation. It is also known as “grass bacillus” or “hay bacillus” It is also known to help with intestinal microflora and is also used as a probiotic.
