Black garlic in a ziplock bag, in heads, 165g

Black garlic in a ziplock bag in a clove of 165g is a package that contains black garlic in fermented form, but this time in a clove. Black garlic is a special product obtained by fermentation of fresh garlic (Allium sativum) under controlled conditions of humidity and temperature. During the fermentation process, white garlic becomes darker (from brown to black) and acquires a mild sweet-sour taste, similar to umami.

Black garlic heads are whole cloves of fermented garlic, similar in shape and size to fresh white garlic. However, heads of black garlic are darker in color and softer in texture. The smell of black garlic is less intense and sharp compared to white fresh garlic.

Black garlic has similar health benefits to fresh white garlic. It contains allicin, a bioactive compound that has been linked to a variety of health benefits, including potentially improving the immune system, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease. It is also rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals and oxidative stress in the body.

Black garlic cloves can be used in cooking in a similar way as white fresh garlic. It can be added to various dishes, such as sauces, soups, stews, marinades and salads. You can also consume it raw, if you like its milder taste compared to garlic.

Peeled onions in a ziplock bag are practical and easy to use because the heads are already cleaned of skins and bumps. Also, the ziplock bag allows for easier storage and resealing, which preserves the freshness of the product.
