BLACKGARLIC
Welcome to the DARK SIDE
Originated from Korea, Black Garlic is gaining popularity in the West. Not only does Black Garlic offer a delicious complex flavour, both sweet and savory, natural medicine practitioners are raving of the health benefits of Black Garlic and their super power anti-oxidant properties.
Black garlic is made from raw garlic that has been “fermented” in a humidity-controlled, warm environment over a period of several weeks. During this aging process, the allicin in garlic is converted into antioxidant compounds that have been found to help fight cancer, stabilize blood sugar, boost immunity and heart health plus much more.
It has a molasses-like richness with tangy garlic undertones with a tender soft, chewy texture which has a consistency similar to a soft dried fruit. More and more chefs are including Black Garlic in their menus to elevate "umami" tastes as well as add earthiness and depth.
