What is BLACK GARLIC?

Black garlic starts as regular white garlic that’s slowly cooked at a low temperature in a sealed container over a 2–3 week period. It’s often described as “fermented,” and while that comparison makes sense, the real transformation comes from something called the Maillard reaction.

The Maillard reaction is the same browning process that creates a rich sear on a steak—it’s what happens when natural sugars and amino acids break down and develop deeper, more complex flavors. In black garlic, this slow browning and caramelization completely changes the garlic’s flavor, texture, and aroma, turning it sweet, savory, and mellow.

As a result, black garlic becomes softer, darker, and more flavorful than raw garlic—and it can even offer enhanced health benefits compared to fresh garlic..

Why should you EAT BLACK GARLIC?

It’s Delicious!

Black garlic is what happens when ordinary garlic becomes extraordinary.

Through a slow, low-temperature cooking process called the Maillard reaction, fresh white garlic transforms from sharp and spicy into something rich, sweet, and unbelievably smooth. The cloves turn soft, spreadable, and mellow, with a naturally sweet aroma and deep, complex flavor.

Think: bold umami, sweet molasses, a touch of balsamic, hints of tamarind, and even a subtle fruity note like dates. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and completely addictive.

Best part? Black garlic is incredibly versatile. Stir it into Asian dishes, elevate Italian favorites, mix it into burgers, build next-level BBQ sauces, marinades, and rubs, or add a gourmet twist to salad dressings and even desserts.

And yes—you can eat the cloves straight from the bulb. They’re mild, sweet, and delicious without the harsh bite or overwhelming garlic breath. One taste and you’ll see why it’s a favorite.

It’s Good for You!

Black garlic doesn’t just taste amazing—it’s packed with benefits, too.

Thanks to the Maillard reaction, black garlic contains elevated levels of naturally occurring compounds found in garlic, including allicin, which is known for supporting overall wellness and helping reduce inflammation. It also contains powerful antioxidants—often up to double what’s found in raw garlic.

Black garlic is commonly enjoyed for supporting:

• Healthy circulation

• Immune system support

• Balanced blood sugar

• Heart health + cholesterol support

It’s the perfect combination of bold flavor and feel-good function—an easy upgrade you’ll want to use every day.
