the natto bacteria culture doesn't like an acidic environment, so perhaps you will get even better results when you leave out the vinegar when you soak the chick peas. And instead of fermenting in an oven you can also use a cooler box with bottles of hot water (refill the bottles with hot water when they have cooled down). This is a little more effort but saves energy..
@@missanthrope2 Yes temperature is critical to culturing natto, and yes it needs some oxygen... unlike lacto fermenting. I just incubate for 24 hours in my instant pot on the yogurt setting and replace the lid with any pot lid to allow circulation but hold the temperature. There are several ways to maintain proper temperature if you don't have an instant pot though.
Super tutorial. I also didn’t know you could make natto from chickpeas. I recently learnt from natto kin that you can make natto using the stalks from mint or, indeed, any other herb growing in your garden. Thanks for sharing.
This was interesting. I did not know you could make natto with chickpeas. We are not a soy-free household, so we use unsweetened soy milk to make a yogurt with natto. We take soy milk and stir in a tablespoon of natto and then incubate it for 24 hours and we end up with a yogurt from the natto spores.
@@ancestralevolution It is similar to an ordinary yogurt in terms of texture. It is not very thick. Not like a Greek yogurt. The taste is not as good as ordinary yogurt, a bit of a bean curd taste to it. But I assume it has lots of K2 in it.
You can make natto with about any bean, I've recently tried several, but not sure they would have the same unique health benefits as making it from soy.
Great video all except the plastic wrap. Plastic wrap is unstable and leaches chemicals onto food. I have been using wax paper.What did they use in the old days before plastic wrap?

I’m a much bigger fan of chickpeas myself so I will have to try this 😊 - thanks! I just made my first batch of soybean natto and it’s in the fridge - I’ll try it tomorrow. When my batch was done incubating i noticed a super funky smell (almost like puke). I know with fermented things that’s kind of what you’re looking for but it put me off a little bit.

Yes, this is very true. This method would not be appropriate if you had a soy allergy, only for those who are trying to eat less soy. I am not sure if the natto spores you can buy contain traces of soy. My guess is they probably do.
I appreciate your reply, @@ancestralevolution. Yes, indeed, when the thought came to my mind yesterday that there most likely was an alternative to soy natto, & I thought specifically to look up chickpea (a.k.a. garbanzo), the whole intention was to get to a soy-free alternative. This is not to say that your recipe here (& I did see natto dad's, too, whose I had intended to watch after yours, but then you recommended it, also, within you own video) will not greatly aid me in my endeavor to be enabled to make soy-free natto, for I see the possibilities, but I will obviously need to do some tweaking of things. For the Vitamin K2 benefits, I am inclined to make natto at least an occasional victual of our household, albeit I hear & get that natto is slimey, but what would you describe the typical flavor as being? Like pungent rancid chickeas, I suppose.
How much mk7 does chick peas natro have? Is it less than soy bean natto? I don't want all the estrogen in the soy, but all the others nutrients would be fantastic.
@@ancestralevolution mam that is what its not there , its not common here , one selling few in amazon is asking money like ransom for it. Pls advice on this what to do
@@dataskull928 My only other suggestion might be to find a Japanese restaurant and see if they either have some natto they can sell you or if they could order some.
You will need some kind of starter culture (either already made natto or you can buy starter spores). The beans you can cook in a normal pot on the stove. You don't have to have a pressure cooker.
induction boils water twice as fast, and with all that extra time you save, you can waste it trying to clean your induction cooker with the upmost care, which it requires.
Made natto last night but the warmer drawer in my oven kept shutting off so now I wonder if I have to throw the batch out and start over or will it survive with inconsistent heating if I just do it longer.
what if I don't have pre-stored natto to ferment them. I want to give this recipe a try but no one eats natto here in India. it's hard to find. please guide me .
If you can't find pre-made natto, I would look for natto spores. You might have to look online. Something like this: amzn.to/3n07D9N. Once you have a culture growing, you can save some of that batch for subsequent batches.
@@ancestralevolution I have found from other tutorials that they wrap the hot beans in banana leaves or corn husks. Otherwise they say you can use pumpkin leaves or fig leaves. No need for starter then as the needed bacteria are naturally found on those leaves.
Best way of consuming K2 is in a food source. Natto has the highest concentration of K2 in a food source, way higher than what a pill will give you, and cheaper if you make it, absorption through food sources are better too. Fermented foods and K2 are both great for the health of your micro biome, think of all the fibre and other nutrients you are getting from this food vs a pill. Winner all round 😊.
@@sc5216 hey s c sorry to hear that. Not sure what (K2/MK-7) foods would be low in histamine that would be safe and appropriate for you. Just commenting generally that whole food sources are usually better for our bodies. But if you have a healthy condition/allergy that may not be the case as you point out 😊
Thank you very much for such a wonderful tutorial video on how to make Chickpea Natto. Unlike any other fermentations, Natto bacterias () can sustain heat over 212°F. So, you don't really need to let the beans cool off before applying any Natto starter. If you really like spicy Natto, you probably can add some curry spices to your Natto. Get yourself some chilly curry paste as well as some coconut cream from any nearby oriental grocery stores. Simmer the chilly curry paste with the coconut milk about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, then let cool a bit before adding your Natto. This succinct video (ua-cam.com/video/OTZNXJgZc38/v-deo.html) video shows how to make Natto using 1 ingredient, namely cooked soybeans. After the soybeans are cleaned and cooked, they alone sans any natto starter are then fermented for 24 hours to produce Natto. If you have an electrical pressure cooker with an option to make yogurt, you can basically pressure cooked the soybeans until it is done. Then, remove the liquid and leave the cooked soybeans still intact in the pressure cooker to let ferment with the yogurt option setting for 24 hours. Easy-peasy, no need any sterilization, and less things to clean after done. Cheers.
Thanks :) Curried natto sounds delicious! We actually just did a video on mung bean natto in the Instant Pot. So much easier than the oven! ua-cam.com/video/F7foGsiv830/v-deo.html I would be nervous about not adding any kind of starter culture to the beans. I would think you would have too much of a chance of contamination, but perhaps I am overly cautious.
Where did you get the information that K2 helps put calcium to the right place and lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases? So far the studies that I have looked at show that this claim is inconclusive.
There's a book, " Vitamin K2," the calcium paradox, which documents well on these claims. Furthermore, Google Scholar also has quite a few papers backing the claims!
I'm not sure it matters to sterilize the tray and utensils. In every video I've seen, people are talking over the uncovered beans. A fine spray of saliva drips showers the area in front of you when you talk, and our mouths are full of bacteria (even thought you have good oral hygiene.) In addition, the air is full of mold spores and other potential sources of infection. Have you ever heard of a natto batch becoming contaminated?
I think this sterilization stuff is overrated for home use. Households are not factories where sterilization is important and actually achievable. I've been making yogurt for a couple of weeks now and I have never sterilized anything.
@@ancestralevolution I guess it depends on the bacteria because I read you will kill most the bacteria in yogurt if you freeze it. That would make sense there would be some that can survive.
The plastic cover is thin and can easily bleed out chemicals under warm condition over a period of time. This will go directly into your natto. The amount may neglible, but ingesting them may have detrimental effect in the future.
I agree, I've never done the plastic on the natto that Natto Dad promotes. I have a plastic lid that goes on top of my glass dish but a few inches away from the natto, that's good enough. Works perfectly. My oven freaks if I have even a cord between the door so I put my heat light in a glass dish in a cardboard box with the natto. It stays at 100 degrees, no fires. For a long time I had the box in the bathtub but feel safe with it on the floor now.

They normally don't use salt either. Salt is good to use for lactic acid fermentation but the natto bacteria is different.
I was wondering why her natto didn't look like it fermented at all.
The spore form of natto survives easily in an acidic environment. Even in the stomach.

Unlike any other fermentations, Natto bacterias () can sustain heat over 212°F. So, you don't really need to let the beans cool off before applying any Natto starter.
If you really like spicy Natto, you probably can add some curry spices to your Natto. Get yourself some chilly curry paste as well as some coconut cream from any nearby oriental grocery stores. Simmer the chilly curry paste with the coconut milk about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, then let cool a bit before adding your Natto.
This succinct video (ua-cam.com/video/OTZNXJgZc38/v-deo.html) video shows how to make Natto using 1 ingredient, namely cooked soybeans. After the soybeans are cleaned and cooked, they alone sans any natto starter are then fermented for 24 hours to produce Natto. If you have an electrical pressure cooker with an option to make yogurt, you can basically pressure cooked the soybeans until it is done. Then, remove the liquid and leave the cooked soybeans still intact in the pressure cooker to let ferment with the yogurt option setting for 24 hours. Easy-peasy, no need any sterilization, and less things to clean after done. Cheers.
Thanks :) Curried natto sounds delicious! We actually just did a video on mung bean natto in the Instant Pot. So much easier than the oven! ua-cam.com/video/F7foGsiv830/v-deo.html
I would be nervous about not adding any kind of starter culture to the beans. I would think you would have too much of a chance of contamination, but perhaps I am overly cautious.
Is the chic pea natto high in K2?
The K2 is made by the bacteria, so I assume so.
There’s msg in your Sriracha.
Thanks! 😊
No problem!
Awesome 😎💕👍TY💗🗝️
Instead of natto starter
May I Use Sauerkraut Culture?
No, do not use sauerkraut culture. It is different bacteria from natto starter, and will not give you natto.
@André Levy you probably could. Just sub the chickpea natto for the regular chickpeas. If you try it, let us know how it is!
Where can we find natto culture?
Can we use something else instead of natto culture?
A bunch of places sell natto culture including Cultures for Health and Amazon. If you can't find culture, use already-made natto.
Sirracha tho i love it, is made with pool cleaner
Salt is a natural antibiotic. I never have success culturing natto with beans that were soaked im salt, ie., Eden brand chickpeas and aduki beans.
Can you tell us more about what it tastes like? This is probably what everyone here wanted to know. Your 3 word description was not enough.
That's Nato with a lot of melted plastic in it
In subsequent batches, we've just done a single layer of saran wrap over the top (not touching the beans) and it has worked fine.

New York Natto. NYrture. Handmade natto. Delicious.
Natto Dad recipe with chick peas
Can you make natto with canned beeans? save all the faff of soaking and cooking them?
Not sure about that. I have never tried with canned beans.
01:00 *Glyphosate*
Yes, sorry, I misspoke...
@@ancestralevolution also, American chickpeas are heavily sprayed with glyphosate. I only buy organic and preferably grown in another country.
Where did you get the information that K2 helps put calcium to the right place and lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases? So far the studies that I have looked at show that this claim is inconclusive.
There's a book, " Vitamin K2," the calcium paradox, which documents well on these claims. Furthermore, Google Scholar also has quite a few papers backing the claims!
Theres also a book called The Calcium Lie . Dont take calcium ask Barbara oNeil! Vd and k2 x
Most ovens won’t go to 💯
I'm not sure it matters to sterilize the tray and utensils. In every video I've seen, people are talking over the uncovered beans. A fine spray of saliva drips showers the area in front of you when you talk, and our mouths are full of bacteria (even thought you have good oral hygiene.) In addition, the air is full of mold spores and other potential sources of infection. Have you ever heard of a natto batch becoming contaminated?
I think this sterilization stuff is overrated for home use. Households are not factories where sterilization is important and actually achievable. I've been making yogurt for a couple of weeks now and I have never sterilized anything.
Bruhhh😅😅
soy-free with soy sauce?
That is a good point. Coconut aminos might be a better choice!
1:49 No! you wasted one natto! Nooooo!
Wouldn’t it be easier to just take the bacteria as a probiotic instead of making this.
it is also a food people like to eat
WOW 😳😲. This Lady is so Clean. Human body needs Not Too Clean. Why we need Vaccines 😅😂❓❓
I'm surprised the bacteria survives being frozen.
Most bacteria will actually survive being frozen. They just won't grow while frozen.
@@ancestralevolution I guess it depends on the bacteria because I read you will kill most the bacteria in yogurt if you freeze it. That would make sense there would be some that can survive.
Have you ever tested if chickpea natto actually contain Vitamin K2?
Mikroplastic now in your food, you should not have cut it in that way, that is silly
Yo creo que no le quedó 🙄
Los garbanzos estaban poco cocidos
No thanks No offence 😌
So much plastic, it leeches in to all food. That’s the worst offender!
We've since stopped using the layer of plastic wrap on the beans, and just do one on top to keep moisture in.
I use parchment paper on the beans, much easier to punch holes in (I use a sewing needle for that), and use plastic foil on top.
God, I'm sorry, I have always hated chickpeas! Much prefer fermented soy bean from Japan.
@*Coyote - Funny, I'm the exact opposite. Tell me, why have you always disliked Chickpeas?
This is nonsense. The phyto oestrogens are proven to not cause harm.
Plus you applause people for adding super unhealthy animal products.
Awfull.
The plastic cover is thin and can easily bleed out chemicals under warm condition over a period of time. This will go directly into your natto. The amount may neglible, but ingesting them may have detrimental effect in the future.
You are right. We are working on an updated natto video that will be released soon. Stay tuned for that!
I agree, I've never done the plastic on the natto that Natto Dad promotes. I have a plastic lid that goes on top of my glass dish but a few inches away from the natto, that's good enough. Works perfectly. My oven freaks if I have even a cord between the door so I put my heat light in a glass dish in a cardboard box with the natto. It stays at 100 degrees, no fires. For a long time I had the box in the bathtub but feel safe with it on the floor now.
