Keathley notes that the most noticeable difference between black garlic and regular garlic is that the former contains more phenols (antioxidants), making it healthier. Research published on Pubmed states that this vegetable reaches its peak antioxidant content after 21 days of fermentation. According to Master of Science Jessica Cording, these substances help protect the body's cells from free radicals, which can lead to serious illness.

For whom and why...

Black garlic is an unusual spice that has been used in the East for hundreds of years to add flavor and aroma to main dishes, appetizers and even desserts. This is not a separate type of garlic, but the most common white garlic that has undergone fermentation. The texture of fermented garlic is similar to marmalade. It has a sweetish taste and a spicy aroma, which lacks sharp notes of bitterness and pungency, unlike fresh garlic.

Pros and cons

Since ancient times, folk healers, doctors and alchemists have tried to find the elixir of immortality. Whatever they added, whatever herbs and ingredients (it’s even scary to list!) they didn’t try to mix to obtain the treasured potion. But they were never able to invent the desired remedy...However, they still managed to succeed in some things - recipes that heal and strengthen the body have survived to this day. We may not be able to live 200 years, but we can meet our old age in good health!
