“Should I eat black garlic every day?” “Is there any side effect if I eat it every day?”
Some of you may think this way.
Even with black garlic, which is said to be a healthy food, you are worried about eating too much.
In this article, I will explain whether you should eat black garlic every day.

□ What is black garlic?

You may have seen black garlic in supermarkets.
It’s shaped like garlic, but you may have been surprised by the color that doesn’t look like garlic.
I will explain about black garlic, which is not very familiar.

Actually, black garlic is not originally from the black garlic variety.
It is made from regular white raw garlic.
The reason for the blackness, which is the most characteristic, is that raw garlic changes when it is stored in a constant environment of controlled high temperature and high humidity for about a month.
When raw garlic is slowly aged for about a month, a reaction called the Maillard reaction occurs and it turns black.

The birthplace of such black garlic is said to be Mie Prefecture.
According to one theory, it was developed around 1999, so it has a relatively short history.
Black garlic, developed in Mie Prefecture, will come to Aomori a few years later.
This is because Aomori is one of the best producers of high quality garlic in Japan.

Black garlic has a taste that you can’t imagine from its appearance.
The unique spiciness and pungent odor of raw garlic disappears, and black garlic has a very high sugar content.
Also, it is often said that the sweetness and softness of the texture make it look like dried fruit.

At the moment of eating, the sweet and sour scent spreads throughout the mouth, so you don’t have to worry about bad breath after eating raw garlic.
This is probably one of the reasons why black garlic is so popular.

However, some people may think that there must be other reasons why they are receiving so much attention other than the taste of black garlic.
In fact, there are other reasons why black garlic is so popular.

One of the reasons for the break of black garlic is probably the research result of Dr. Jinichi Sasaki announced in 2006.
This study found that black garlic has a higher active ingredient than raw garlic and has the effect of activating all the functions that humans originally have.
With this as a trigger, black garlic spread not only in Japan but all over the world.

□ Black garlic should be eaten daily

Black garlic contains more active ingredients than raw garlic.
The research results of Dr. Jinichi Sasaki also showed that it has a surprising effect.
Therefore, you will find that black garlic is good for you when you eat it.

Should I eat such black garlic every day?
I will also explain how long it will take for the effect of black garlic to appear.

First of all, it is said that it takes about 2 to 3 months after you start eating to realize the effect of black garlic.
Of course, there will be individual differences as it depends on your eating habits and constitution.

We recommend eating black garlic every day to see the effect.
By eating 1 to 3 tablets daily, you will be able to experience the effects of black garlic in the shortest possible time.
You can eat it as it is, or if you get tired of eating it as it is, you may try using it as an arrangement for cooking.
Make it a habit so that you can continue to eat every day.

□ Side effects of black garlic

Next, I will explain the side effects of black garlic.

What are side effects in the first place?
When you get sick, you take medicine to cure the illness or relieve the symptoms.
At that time, the action according to the purpose is called the main action.
On the other hand, the appearance of symptoms that are different from the original purpose will be called side effects.

With this definition in mind, black garlic has no side effects.
The reason is that black garlic is a health food, not a medicine.
However, there are symptoms caused by eating too much black garlic.

It’s heartburn.
I think there are many people who have heartburn when they eat raw garlic.
Similarly, eating too much black garlic can cause heartburn.
However, since black garlic is aged, heartburn will not occur when eaten normally like raw garlic.

To the last, black garlic may cause heartburn when you eat too much.
Therefore, it should not be a problem to take 1 to 3 tablets continuously a day.
Since it can be expected to have health effects, it is recommended to keep the intake and eat habitually.

□ Summary

In recent years, black garlic has become popular due to its health benefits and effects.
In order to maximize the effect, it was not just a matter of increasing the intake.
It is important to keep your daily intake and continue to eat.
