Description

Black garlic is created through a fermentation process that involves heating whole bulbs of garlic at a low temperature (usually around 140 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 to 77 degrees Celsius) over an extended period, typically several weeks. During this process, the garlic undergoes Maillard reactions and caramelization, resulting in a darkened color, soft and sticky texture, and a unique sweet and savory flavor. The cloves turn dark brown to black, and the pungency of raw garlic is replaced by a rich, molasses-like taste with hints of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Nutrition Information (per 100g): The nutritional content of black garlic can vary based on the specific fermentation process used. Here's a general overview:

  2. Heart Health: Some studies suggest that black garlic may have positive effects on cardiovascular health, including potential benefits for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
  3. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: The fermentation process may increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients in garlic.
Culinary Uses:

  • It can be sliced or mashed and used in salads, sauces, marinades, and various savory recipes.
  • The sweet and savory taste of black garlic pairs well with meats, vegetables, and other ingredients.
While black garlic is known for its distinctive taste and potential health benefits, it is essential to note that it is a specialty ingredient and may not replace the traditional use of raw or cooked garlic in all recipes. As with any food, it's best to enjoy black garlic in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

What Clients Talk About Us

I ordered a medium vegetable platter and a large fruit platter to be delivered on Sunday.
They were delivered in the morning as requested and the delivery person obligingly came back later with the correct milk as he had brought the wrong one. We were so impressed with the platters. They looked beautiful and everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you very much.
