Black garlic

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black garlic is a type of food which is made by heating whole bulbs of garlic over the course of several weeks. It was first used as a food ingredient in Asian cuisine.[1] The taste is sweet and syrupy with hints of balsamic vinegar[2] or tamarind.[3] Black garlic's popularity has spread to the United States because it has become a sought-after ingredient used in high-end cuisine. The ornamental plant Allium nigrum is commonly called black garlic.
