Black garlic, commonly used in Asian cuisine, is not just a garlic variety. Read more on this special type of garlic and its flavor profile.
Where does black garlic come from?
Black garlic is produced by fermentation, a technique that has been around for thousands of years. It is rather garlic in an aged state, which has caramelized through fermentation. During the fermentation sugars and amino acids in the garlic will start producing ‘melanoidin’, a dark-colored substance. After this process, the black garlic is cooled and dried for another week.

Black garlic vs. raw garlic
Can you imagine garlic without all its bad sides and even more nutritious? Black garlic has no pungent odor, no acrid bite and does not leave you with a bad breath. On top of that, it has nearly twice as many antioxidants as raw garlic.
