The benefits of black garlic are manifold:
1. Superior health benefits
2. Unique, gourmet, culinary taste experience
3. Long shelf life; black garlic bulbs can stay fresh in your pantry for a full year
4. Black garlic does not have a pungent odor or acrid bite
5. Flavor is more subtle yet highly complex – a mixture of sweet and savory
6. Eating black garlic does not give you bad breath
7. Versatility: it can be eaten whole, used as a spread, infused in oil, or added to recipes
Can black garlic be used instead of raw garlic?
Black garlic can be used in conjunction with raw garlic as you wish in recipes. It does not substitute for raw garlic, black garlic has its own very distinct flavor. Try the recipes on this website, or try experimenting on your own. It’s so much fun to discover a brand new, delicious, taste!
But be forewarned: black garlic cloves are so scrumptious it will be hard not to eat them all for snacks before you even decide what to cook for dinner! And Quarter Moon Farm black garlic is organic, so you get the added benefit of eating the most healthful black garlic on the market.
It’s good for you and the planet!
