STARTED. AND ENZYMES.
AND ENZYMES. THINK OF THOSE LIKE A MUSHROOM
AROUND RICE OR SOMETHING
INSTEAD OF MOLD.

DIFFERENT FUNGUS AND YOUR
GROWING IT AROUND THE BEANS AND
THE ENZYMES ARE GETTING IN
THERE AND BREAKING THE SOUND

YOU'RE ACTUALLY USING -- AND
WHAT HAPPENS IS IT GROSS SORT
OF A VISCOUS TEXTURE.

CALL THEM GOSSIPER THREADS AND
ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
IT IS SOMETHING CALLED NATO AND
THAT IS SUPER WONDERFUL FOR OUR
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM. IT BREAKS APART THE FIBER FOR
CIRCULATION AND HEART HEALTH
AND IT IS AMAZING.

NOW HAVE IS A SUPER HIGH LEVEL
OF VITAMIN K2.
IN THE HIGHEST THINK WE HAVE IN
OUR COUNTRY IS CHEESE.

WITH THE THREADS AND WE THINK
OF IT IS ALMOST LIKE
MARSHMALLOWS OR CHEESE.

BEANS IN THE TRADITIONAL
FLAVORS THAT GO ALONG WITH THEM

FEEDING THEM AND ALL THE STUFF
