Product Popularization

Natto powder may sound unfamiliar to some people, but it comes from natto, a fermented soybean food that has been part of Japanese diets for generations. Today, natto powder is gaining attention outside Japan as a convenient, shelf-stable ingredient for modern food and supplement products.

Let’s take a simple, easy-to-understand look at what natto powder is and why more brands are starting to use it.

I.What Is Natto Powder? 

Natto is a soybean product made by fermenting soybeans with Bacillus subtilis. It is sticky, has a strong odor, and a slightly sweet taste. It not only retains the nutritional value of soybeans and is rich in vitamin K2, improving the digestibility and absorption of protein, but more importantly, the fermentation process produces a variety of physiologically active substances, which have health benefits such as dissolving fibrin in the body and regulating other physiological functions.

Natto freeze-dried powder is a powder product made from natto, a traditional fermented food, using a vacuum freeze-drying process, resulting in a fine texture. Its core value lies in fully preserving the active ingredient system of natto, offering a unique and rich natto flavor. There is also imported natto powder from Taiwan, which uses a deodorizing process, solving the problem of its unique flavor not being widely accepted.

II. Its efficacy and application
