Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. It is not a very common dish in America. However, just one ounce has 313 mcg of vitamin K, so it is definitely worth a try. Do not let its smell fool you, its taste and nutritional value make it hard to ignore.

The vitamin K found in natto is beneficial for heart health by preventing the arteries from hardening. It is also believed to reverse arterial calcification. Arterial calcification, when calcium deposits build up in the arteries, occurs is seen in most people 60 years and older. On top of the vitamin K, natto has iron, protein, manganese, copper, zinc, and calcium. All while staying low in sodium.
