Natto Rice with a Little Extra: Variations

We present three variations of natto rice with added ingredients.
Vitamin K2 in natto helps increase bone density and prevent fractures. Additionally, natto is rich in vitamin B1, which interacts with allicin found in onions to produce allithiamine, a component that aids in energy metabolism, leading to improved recovery from fatigue. Moreover, the isoflavones in natto have antioxidant properties and help balance hormones, which is particularly beneficial for women, helping alleviate menopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis.
