Black Garlic Paste, 100g [Umami-Rich, Slowly-aged, Functional Food, No preservatives]
- Black Garlic: Black garlic is produced by aging fresh garlic at a temperature of 65-80°C and 70-80% relative humidity in a controlled chamber for 90 days. This process triggers a Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids, converting sulphur compounds like allicin into melanoidins. The transformation eliminates raw garlics strong smell and pungency, yielding dark, velvety garlic with a sweet and savoury flavour profile akin to shiitake mushrooms, figs, and balsamic vinegar.
- The Black Garlic Comeback: Tracing its roots to Korea and Japan, fresh garlic was aged in a cooker for weeks at controlled temperature and humidity, yielding a sticky texture and caramel-like delight. A 2018 study revealed the role of inherent thermophilic Bacillus strains in driving fermentation. Though an age-old creation, black garlic made a modern comeback in the early 2000s, securing its spot as a gourmet favorite.
- Functional Food Redefined: Black garlic isn’t just a superfood—it’s a powerhouse! Packed with antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant nutrients like Zinc and Selenium, its benefits go beyond the ordinary. The antioxidants formed are more stable than fresh garlic’s allicin and easily absorbed by the GI tract. Plus, its milder spice makes it a friendlier option for heat-sensitive folks or those with a Pitta body type. A natural free radical scavenger, neuro-protector, and anti-inflammatory agent, black garlic proves that health and flavour can go hand in hand!
- One of a kind: Black Garlic Paste, with its velvety smooth texture, pairs effortlessly with balsamic vinegar or a tangy vinaigrette, perfectly complementing acidic flavors. Spread it on bagels with cheese and herbs, stir it into mashed potatoes or risotto, or explore its unique appeal in Black Garlic Ice Cream—a bold and intriguing trend worth trying!
