BLACK GARLIC

I feel slightly wary about posting this as it looks a little like I’m holding something else 💩😬 Head out of gutter please, it’s not! This, my foodie friends, is aged black garlic. Oh we do like the black stuff it’s oh-so-special and knocks the socks off the white garlic! 

It is way way way 👆 higher in allicin (the active component in #garlic which gives it all its famous health benefits) and also has a lot higher antioxidant status than normal garlic - around TWICE as much 👏 It can help aid digestion (due to more polyphenols, flavanoids and anthocyanins = good-for-you chemicals in food to those who haven’t studied nutrition!) So potentially beneficial for those who suffer from digestive issues such as #IBS and on a #lowfodmap diet.

From a culinary perspective it’s sweeter, so adds a whole new caramelly dimension to cooking and very easy to enjoy this ‘raw’ without reeking for days or taking the skin off your tongue....So, that is black garlic. A wonderful little taste explosion, nutritious and delicious.
