About
Black Garlic is garlic that has undergone a fermentation process under set temperature and humidity for a period of time. This process common in eastern countries like Korea China and Japan, has concentrate properties sometimes twenty times that of raw garlic. Antioxidant properties are boosted, and the taste becomes mellow, tangy and sweet losing the pungency of raw garlic, and much of its after-taste effects like 'garlic breath'. Many patents exist claiming the process of fermentation, but the basic technique can be traced well into time, as recipes for making it can be found dating to the 5th century. Black garlic has taken the gourmet world by storm lately, and much mysticism has been placed upon it. It is a beautiful, unique and very elegant addition to any pantry, and its uses range from the savory to the sweet. It is bound to become a staple element much in the way of sundried tomatoes.
