things people ask

• How much is a teaspoon of natto in grams?
  About 3.65 g for a level teaspoon, which is one small clump of beans with a few threads attached. That's roughly a twelfth of a 45 g pack. Teaspoons rarely come up in traditional natto recipes, but they're a useful unit when you're building a layered bowl — say, a teaspoon each of natto, tobiko, and avocado over rice — and want each topping in balance.
• Can I introduce natto to someone with just a teaspoon?
  A teaspoon (about 3.6 g) is a sensible first taste: enough to register the funk, ammonia note, and stringy texture without committing to a full pack. Stir it into hot rice with extra mustard and soy to soften the smell. If the taster wants more, scale up by teaspoon rather than jumping to a full tablespoon — the flavor builds quickly.
• Is a teaspoon of natto enough for any nutritional benefit?
  A teaspoon (3.6 g) gives you roughly a tenth of what a single pack provides — trace nattokinase, a small dose of vitamin K2, and a sliver of prebiotic fiber. For the cardiovascular and gut-flora benefits natto is studied for, research generally references a 40-50 g pack daily. A teaspoon is a flavor accent, not a functional dose.
