What is Black Garlic?
Black garlic does not grow black from the soil. So it is not a genre.
Kastamonu Taşköprü Black Garlic is produced in our modern production facility in Kastamonu , using the best quality garlic of Taşköprü. Produced by fermentation method. During fermentation, garlic is kept in a warm and humid environment for 4-6 weeks. Garlic left in this environment for a long time without any additives turns black and its nutritional content becomes richer. It gets rid of its disturbing odor.
Why Black Garlic?
Black garlic has all the nutrients found in normal garlic. Plus, it contains plenty of S-Allyl-cysteine (SAC). There are numerous studies on the effects of SAC on our health. The most beneficial nutrient in garlic is ALLICIN. However, allicin is a volatile nutrient. For example, if you cut, crush or chop it to make a salad such as tzatziki, or chop it and let it sit for a while, allicin may disappear completely. (That's why the ancients say that it is more beneficial to swallow garlic as cloves)
