Organic Black Garlic 250g*20

Black garlic can be used alone, on bread, with cheese, red wine or dark chocolate, in soups or sauces, with meat or fish, crushed into mayonnaise, added to a vinaigrette, or with a vegetable dish. The cloves may also be crushed and then water added to create a paste or liquid. Black garlic has a flavor different from fresh garlic.

Black garlic contains noticeable amounts of:

• Vitamin C

• B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6)

• Folate

• Calcium

• Manganese

• Magnesium

• Phosphorous

• Zinc

• Iron

Compared to regular garlic, black garlic has a smaller amount of allicin, the compound that gives regular garlic some of its health benefits. Still, it’s rich in amino acids, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. The fermentation process, however, changes the concentrations.

Black garlic contains more antioxidants than regular garlic. It also has more of a compound called S-Allylcysteine (SAC). SAC helps the body to absorb allicin. With a greater concentration, black garlic may be more effective at helping your body get the benefits that allicin provides.
