Pete's Greens Black Garlic will become a staple ingredient in your kitchen. The garlic is Certified Organic and grown in Vermont. Each head is then split into cloves, and the cloves are "fermented" at a carefully controlled temperature and humidity for several weeks. Garlic contains sugars and amino acids, so when it undergoes fermentation, these elements produce melanoidin, which is responsible for the striking dark color. Black garlic has a rich flavor and aromatic quality, reminiscent of molasses and soy sauce. (from Pete's Greens)
