If you want to learn how to make natto, you are in for some surprises.  This is because this food is very easy to make and has some exceptional health benefits.  

Making this it at home can save you a lot of money too.  

While some people with thyroid disorders should avoid soy, homemade natto is fermented and many of the compounds that interfere with thyroid function are eliminated by fermenting the beans. 

While natto is easy to make and also inexpensive,  it is going to take a little planning. The fermentation process will also take a few day’s time, so make sure to plan ahead.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to hover over it as it ferments, so you are not tied to the kitchen all day!
