What is black garlic? What are the characteristics?

Do you know “black garlic”?

If you hear “garlic”, I think that there are many people who imagine that white garlic. 

However, “black garlic” contains more abundant nutrients than white garlic.
It is a waste not to know about the charm of such black garlic!  

This time we will introduce the charm of black garlic!

○ Difference between black garlic and white garlic 
Black garlic is actually made from ordinary white garlic. 
I am converting harvested garlic into black garlic by matured with far infrared rays for about a month.  
Black garlic is a 100% non-additive, color-free food. That black color is made by the “Maillard effect” which is a natural chemical reaction of sugar and amino acid.

《What is different from black garlic and white  garlic  except color?  》
・Presence or absence of unique smell 
Black garlic disappears strong irritating smell of white garlic as sugar rises. 

· You can eat raw 
Black garlic is becoming a fruity food as it is often called “garlic fruit”. 
Therefore you can eat just by peeling the skin.

 · Sweet taste 
Black garlic can feel sweetness like dry fruit. 
The secret of sweetness is in the carbohydrate content of black garlic. Actually, it is 1.7 times more than white garlic!


○ Black garlic effect 
By becoming black garlic, not only carbohydrates but also various nutrients are expected to be higher than white garlic.

I will introduce about the ingredients of the garlic that I mainly upload and its effects.
· Brain function activity effect, diuretic effect 
This is an effect obtained by increasing “glutamic acid” contained in garlic about 1.7 times. 
Since it has a function as an excitatory neurotransmitter, it activates the function of the brain. 
Also, since glutamate has the effect of generating GABA which is a relaxing ingredient, when the brain becomes too excited, there is also a function to calm that excitement. 
In addition, glutamic acid has the function of detoxifying ammonia. 
As ammonia that has lost toxicity is excreted as urine, it means that indirectly there is diuretic effect. 

· Antioxidant effect, prevention effect on aging 
This is an effect obtained by about 8 times increase of “S-allyl-L-cysteine” contained in garlic.

Did you know about the charm of black garlic?

Of course white garlic has efficacy, but I think that you knew that black garlic contains more abundant nutrients! 

By all means, let ‘s send a healthy life by incorporating black garlic into your regular meal!
