Black Garlic in Japan:There are 4 or 5 major black garlic manufacturers in Japan . There is a Korean American gentleman who claims he is the inventor of BLACK GARLIC which is incorrect . There is some speculation as to where it started, and there are books dating back 4000 years that talk about Black Garlic, though it's unknown if the text was talking about the same thing.
I have asked the Japanese business people in Japan if BG can be patented, the answer in Japan is NO. Why? Because it is treated as MISO fermented bean paste or soy sauce.
I am about to launch organically grown BG that is super tasty. The key is organically grown and if the product is approved by FDA of Japan. In this case , official certificate from Japanese Agricultural Standard as organically grown garlic to be used for Black Garlic.
Black Garlic In General:
Just to go a little further into what the previous answerer mentioned. Black garlic is basically just garlic that has been held at a specific temperature (between 140 and 150 degree F) for ~30 days. The garlic slowly caramelizes and the flavors change giving you a slightly sweet amazing tasting clove of goodness :). I'm currently testing out different ways to make black garlic at home and so far a slow cooker, plastic wrap, and a temperature controller is working pretty well. My next test will be with a rice cooker that has a sealed lid on "keep warm". Both methods are easy enough to do at home and should give good results.
Get black garlic!
Yes, black garlic does indeed retain all of the benefits that regular garlic has. Some people claim it has more flavor.
To make black garlic using an Instant Pot, you can peel the garlic cloves, place them in a heat-safe container, and cook on the low setting for 10-14 days. This slow cooking process will transform the garlic into black garlic with a sweet and savory flavor.
To learn how to cook black garlic effectively, you can start by researching recipes online or in cookbooks. You can also watch video tutorials or take a cooking class that specifically focuses on black garlic. Practice and experimentation will help you develop your skills in cooking with black garlic.
One unique and delicious recipe that can be made using the Instant Pot Black Garlic is Black Garlic Butter Shrimp. Simply saut shrimp in a mixture of black garlic, butter, and seasonings in the Instant Pot for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish.
No, black garlic is actually as healthy or more than fresh garlic. Granted it hasn't been studied as closely as normal garlic, but they have studied the cancer fighting compound S-allylcysteine and it is found in greater concentration in black garlic vs normal garlic.
the cure is the garlic specimen 1409 :)
When choosing a black garlic maker, look for features like temperature control, humidity control, and a timer for precise fermentation. Additionally, consider the capacity of the machine and ease of cleaning for convenience.
Consuming black garlic on broccoli may provide health benefits due to its high antioxidant content, which can help reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and boost the immune system.
NICE
Black garlic is not only healthy, but it's used mainly in cooking. It's flavor is intense (not as intense as raw garlic, and totally different, but still intense) and can be used anywhere that you would use things like truffles to add a nice unique flavor. Also works great in stir fries, soups, etc.
one wierd way to cure the black death was to mix garlic , butter and vinger ehh cont fancy that
