Tips:

- Treat black garlic cloves exactly like regular garlic. The only difference is its flavour and powerful aroma.

- Use it as you would roasted garlic, in a purée or a rub or grind it down to a fine powder and use it as seasoning.

 

Benefits:

Black garlic is the wonderfully sweet and syrupy result of heating cloves of garlic over the course of several weeks. Use it to give any recipe an exotically sweet twist. With double the number of antioxidants than normal garlic, black garlic boosts the natural benefits of a meal. Its S-allyl cysteine is also proven to lower cholesterol and lower your risk of cancer.

 

How To Store It:

If packaged, store it at room temperature. Loose cloves sold unopened have to be refrigerated and can last for up to a month.
