Natto is amazing for SCFA (not specifically propionate though - more Glutamate)

I believe traditional salami also has a little propionate

I tried Natto and really really wanted to get to eat it every day. However, one portion gave me huge long lasting headaches. The flavour was good, and I am used to eat ferments (I make my own vegan yoghurt). I was really sad because Natto is supposed to have so many great properties.

Weird. Maybe try another brand? Some of them have weird sauces included too you can skip

Natto is also a great source of vitamin K2 (and I think the only vegan one).
