⚫🧄 What is Black Garlic?
Black garlic is a unique form of garlic that has been fermented at high temperature and humidity for several weeks. This fermentation process transforms the cloves into a black color and develops a sweet and syrupy taste with a soft texture. The pungent smell and taste of fresh garlic have been reduced due to the loss of allicin ‘大蒜素’ content. Meanwhile, the transformation of allicin into S-allyl-cysteine (SAC)[water-soluble antioxidants compound] during the fermentation process causes black garlic to have stronger antioxidant properties than fresh raw garlic.
