Bacillus natto is a variant of Bacillus subtilis which is found everywhere, in the soil, on plant’s roots, stokes and leaves and in most mammals gut. These are the packets which are sold by culturing companies for making natto. Make Natto from powdered bacillus natto spores Natto is best once it has a chance to mature in the fridge for two or three days but it can be eaten once it comes out of the incubator.Īfter two or three days place the remaining natto into the freezer to halt the fermentation process. Scoop out the fermented natto into serving sized containers and place in the fridge to cool. Remove the container from the incubator and take the plastic wrap off.

Once the beans have been soaked strain them and rinse them in cool filtered water. Let them soak for 8 hours or so (usually overnight).
