Yes! Kimchi is awesome for pregnancy – it’s a great digestive aid and full of vitamins — great for baby too!

[...] As mentioned before, too, natto is seen as a daily beauty essential. Check this page out — it’s an entire editorial on a natto recipe. I’ve given up on trying to like natto as there’s not a lot of love between us! [...]

Natto tastes great! So I don’t understand why people find it pungent. I don’t think it smells at all.

I love kimchi too. But make them myself? Err, maybe not. You’ve to ferment them properly otherwise instead of being beneficial, they become dangerous!

Thanks for dropping by. I am puzzled by the length of time needed to ferment the kimchi, but I think what’s key is, you should refrigerate for a while before you dig in.

But you know, even the promise of skin as smooth as silken tofu still doesn’t make me want to try this again too soon. Perhaps I will eat natto with other ingredients. Miso paste and green onions seem safer and more appealing.

its unfortunate that you got ill, but… just fyi, lots of ppl eat what u call ‘fermenting’ kimchi. Its really always fermenting…doesn’t really stop. You can slow it down…but…anyway my point is, that it shouldn’t have caused that reaction in u, so that totally sucks
(maybe it was the combined effect of eating two fermented foods?? or maybe u just bought bad kimchi?)

but the main point is…PROPS to you for eating kimchi with natto! I just CANT do it.
It is everything you said about it, but even knowing that…nope, the smell deters me from the goodness that it could do, and…I crumble, cowering away to the other side of the room XD
I will have to try and venture back into it in a few years lol.

Anyway I just found you today, and it was a great read (despite your unfortunate event) hope to read many more great posts from you~
