Nattō

Where to actually find spermidine in the diet.

What foods contain the most spermidine? The richest food source of spermidine, or at least, like, the top, um, arguably the top, top food by a considerable amount is something called natto.

Natto is a traditional Japanese food, and it's made, uh, with, uh, fermented soybeans, a very common staple in Japan, often eat, eaten with breakfast.

Uh, now, I will say, if you've never had it before, it's a, it's a very, like, uh, unique, I'll say unique taste.

I like the taste of it, but the texture is also interesting.

[upbeat music] Anyway, okay, so where does this leave us? Spermidine, it's not like a magic pill, okay? Anyone who tells you it is and any ads you are seeing for it, uh, is really getting ahead of things.

But it is genuinely an interesting compound, and the mechanism makes a lot of sense, and I think the food sources are easy enough to add in.

Natto if you really wanna try something new or another, another reason to include mushrooms, again, one of my favorite foods, that are impossible to overcook, by the way.

And natto, once again, are fermented soybeans.

Oh, okay.

Natto.

N-A-T-T-O.

N-A-T-T-O.

Natto.

I just learned something.

Good.

I can't begin to describe how much that stinks.

She was eating Japanese fermented soybeans there the other evening and I swear to God the smell of old socks was so powerful it nearly knocked me out.

I get she's into her gut health, great, but stop stinking out our kitchen.

Am I in the wrong here or should I say something to her? I'm team sardine.

Yup, the sardines.

times she heats them up and I can't begin to describe how much that stinks.
