Lets be staraightforward about this-Fermented soybeans are sticky and have a strong smell, a bit like blue cheese.

The taste isn't that great too… some say it tastes like Vegemite (the Australian paste) or marmite (the NZ equivalent).

Either way-Japanese eat it in small amounts to flavor sushi, noodles and even ice cream.

Like Miso soup which is also made from fermented soybeans, both Natto and Miso are a very rich source of protein.
