What is black garlic?
Black garlic is fresh, white garlic that has been aged by warming the garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended period of time (often a month or more) until the cloves become tender and black in color. Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions.
Are garlic pills as effective as fresh garlic?
The literature does not present data identifying if garlic pills offer similar benefits as fresh garlic. It is recommended to have variety within one’s diet to gain nutritional benefits from different foods including garlic.
How is black garlic aged?
Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions. During the aging process the cloves undergo the Maillard reaction as the heat creates changes in the amino acids and sugars in the garlic. This reaction is what gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color.
What are the different types of black garlic?
Whole bulbs of black garlic come in two varieties: multi-clove garlic and solo clove garlic. The multi-clove is the same garlic you are likely already familiar with. Each clove is separated by skin and must be peeled. Solo clove, also called single-clove, garlic is smaller in size and round.
