This article contains suggestions on making natto. Natto is traditionally made from fermented soybeans cultured with the Bacillus Subtilis bacteria.
Natto is the source of nattokinase which has many health benefits.

I have written case reports about its effectiveness.
What I learned about natto made me try to make it. – How I Made and Appreciated Natto
This article will update my readers with the additional knowledge I gathered.
You can use other beans for making natto. I have made natto using chickpeas (garbanzos), red beans, and black-eyed peas. Same procedure: soak, pressure cook and ferment. Pressure cooking is 40 minutes on high. You can adjust the time based on how soft or firm you like your beans.
You don’t have to buy a specific natto soybean to make natto. Any other soybean will do. That’s my opinion. The natto soybeans sold are smaller, increasing the surface area for the Bacillus subtilis bacteria to grow. I made natto using regular soybeans for making tofu and soy milk, and the flavor is the same.
Your local stores may have cheaper soybeans. In my previous post, I bought from laurasoybeans.com. When I checked out a local Asian store, it was more than 50% cheaper and non-GMO too.
Natto can degrade sponges. I hand wash after eating. When I started making natto, the sponge I used to wash the kitchen utensils degraded faster. This is a testament to the enzymes present in nattokinase. The enzymes broke the glue holding the rougher green part of the 3M sponge from the yellow part.
The enzymes in nattokinase prevent and dissolve blood clots, prions, and amyloids in the human body. Be sure to rinse the sponges well.
Clean-up after eating natto is good for the sewer system. The Bacillus subtilis present in natto can hibernate into a spore. After eating, the slimy stuff with the spores gets washed down the drain, where the Bacillus subtilis gets reactivated and start to multiply again and produce its protein-degrading enzymes.
Those enzymes can degrade the sludge build-up and clean up the pipes and septic tanks. The Bacillus subtilis spores are sold by ClearBlu™ in Amazon to maintain the septic systems, grease traps and treatment systems, and ponds.
But if you make your natto, you won’t need to buy an industrial-strength biological cleaning material. The Bacillus is also environmentally friendly because it prevents diseases in plants. I put the natto washings in my orchids and water, and the limp leaves came back to life.
The natto recipe that I recommended does not stink. I served it to someone who had natto several times before in Japan, and he said that my natto did not smell as bad as the ones he had in Tokyo.
I have served my natto to friends and families, who all liked it, and the slipperiness or slime did not turn them off. As long as I tell them that it is like okra before they eat it, the texture does not surprise them.
