Description
What exactly is black garlic?
It is not a special type of garlic. Black garlic is the result of the fermentation of kitchen (white) garlic, when whole cloves of garlic are left to ripen in special containers at a temperature of 60 °C for 3-4 weeks . No other substances are used in the preparation of black garlic, it is a purely biological process. Quite simply, it is a very long and slow "baking".

And why is it black?
Its black color is caused by the so-called maillard reaction, during which a number of substances are formed that give the products their characteristic color, taste and smell. The Maillard reaction is typical for bakery products, for example. In the same way that baking bread creates its crispy crust and spreads its unmistakable flavor, the production of black garlic creates aromatic compounds that give it its unique taste. From the point of view of use, black garlic has a great advantage over normal garlic, because the distinctive, sharp, pungent taste is eliminated by fermentation. Black garlic has a juicy, sticky consistency and, on the contrary, a rather sweet taste, which is very specific. Another benefit is that it does not irritate the stomach.
The amount of active substances
The fermentation process increases the amount of active substances contained. Unlike fresh white garlic, it therefore contains a higher concentration of bioactive substances and even contains different substances.
The key bioactive component of regular garlic is allicin (which is one of the most important substances contained in garlic). However, black garlic does not contain allicin. During the ripening process, it is converted into S-allyl mercaptocysteine (SAMC) and S-allyl cysteine (SAC). It also contains some fat-soluble sulfur compounds, flavonoids, phenol alixin and other substances such as important minerals such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and selenium.
