Black Garlic

What is black garlic?

Black garlic is a variant of traditional white garlic that has undergone a natural fermentation process to become a food with a different flavour and full of nutrients. When the garlic is fermented it takes on a dark colour and its texture becomes soft, almost creamy, while at the same time it acquires a sweeter flavour. During this process the black garlic also loses its smell, but all the beneficial properties that were already present in the garlic are enhanced.

Where does black garlic come from?

Black garlic was discovered in Japan almost by accident. A scientist doing research on how to reduce the characteristic smell of garlic decided to subject it to a different fermentation process, based on controlling temperature and humidity in a certain way. The experiment was relatively successful. Yes, it mitigated the odor, but the garlic became dark. The taste had also changed, and its nutrients (vitamins, trace elements and amino acids) had multiplied.
