Black Garlic

Black garlic is a type of caramelized garlic, first used as a food ingredient in Asian cuisine. It is made by heating whole bulbs of garlic over the course of several weeks, a process that results in black cloves. The taste is sweet and syrupy with hints of balsamic vinegar or tamarind. Black garlic's popularity has spread and it has become a sought-after ingredient used in high-end cuisine.

It has a tender, almost jelly-like texture with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency similar to a soft dried fruit and it’s loaded with nearly twice as many antioxidants as raw garlic. Black Garlic leaves NO garlic smell on your breath and nor does the smell come out on your skin the next day.

In Korea, black garlic was developed as a health product and it is still perceived as health supplementary food. Black garlic is prized as a food rich in antioxidants and added to energy drinks, and in Thailand is claimed to increase the consumer's longevity.
