I have a soft spot for fermented foods, so I eat yogurt and natto every day. But whenever I bought these products, the plastic package they used weighed on my mind. That's why I decided to try my hand at making these fermented foods myself at home. Anyone can easily make fermented foods, as long as you control the temperature properly.
I decided to use a home-use warmer. To make yogurt, you mix milk with a yogurt starter and set an appropriate temperature and time. That's all there is to it. Natto is much the same. You cook beans in a pressure cooker and mix them with natto spores. Then you let them sit for 24 hours at 45 degrees.
It's great that I don't have to throw away plastic containers every day. It's much easier on the wallet, too. And as an added bonus, I don't have to worry about food additives. There is the additional work of cleaning the containers, but I feel more fulfilled this way.
