Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Natto is recommended during pregnancy as a nutrient-rich fermented soybean food. It delivers plant protein, iron, and high levels of vitamin K2, which supports maternal bone metabolism and circulatory health. Commercial natto undergoes controlled fermentation with Bacillus subtilis, ensuring food safety when stored refrigerated. Stir natto thoroughly with a small dash of soy sauce and serve over warm steamed rice.

How to read this

During pregnancy you need more of certain nutrients each day, like folate, iron and choline. Each bar shows how much of that daily amount 100 g of Natto provides. 100% means 100 g alone covers the whole day; smaller numbers show its share. A ✓ marks 100% or more.
