Black Garlic looks like a cross between a small dark fig and a dried pitted olive -
Fermented for 30 days - the taste is fruity - no cutting edge raw garlic - the bitterness is gone - slight sweetness - smooth texture throughout - something the writer has never quite tasted before - ideal for cooking - think miniature alternative to truffles for cooking
- Black Garlic cloves to pop into your mouth as an appetizer -
- Black Garlic paste as a spread on toast or crackers -
- Black Garlic liquid - allowing one to drink the benefits garlic - not exactly a soft drink - much milder than my expectation -
The product is new - the distribution is very limited - uses are yet to be explored in depth - when it show up on your local shelf - give Black Garlic a try - you will enjoy -
I checked farmers markets non-stop for months looking for the elusive black garlic but couldn't find it so I finally succumbed and looked online and discovered www.mondofood.com. At a minimum this is some awesome stuff!
