Black Garlic Extract

Black garlic extract is derived from fermented raw garlic (Allium sativum) that has undergone a aging process, typically lasting several weeks. This process transforms the garlic into a black, sticky substance with a sweet, umami flavor and a soft texture. The fermentation enhances its nutritional profile, increasing the levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and beneficial compounds compared to raw garlic.
