What is black garlic?

White Garlic becomes Black Garlic under strictly controlled heat and humidity, after a month-long fermentation process. The product of this very specific process is a smooth, jelly-like texture that is odour-free and has a similar taste to figs.From a nutritional point of view, Black Garlic has a similar content of allicin, White Garlic’s active ingredient that gives its benefits but without the odour. Black Garlic is also high in amino acids, and has almost twice the amount of antioxidants compared to White Garlic.

Black Garlic also contains a very unique additional compound called S-Allycysteine (SAC) in very high concentrations compared to White Garlic, which is water-soluble and therefore easily absorbed within the body.S-Allylcysteine has been shown to help absorb allicin.This makes Black Garlic much more successful than White Garlic for all the above-mentioned benefits and, however, it is well tolerated by the digestive system, thereby reducing the risk of gastric distress.

Eating organic: expectation vs reality

Expectations:

We all lead busy lives and we understand that at the end of the day you don’t always feel like standing above a hot stove.While there are plenty of beautiful healthy meals you can cook up with fresh ingredients, there is also plenty of goodness to have from pre-packaged foods. Healthy eating is perfectly possible without having to start every evening from scratch.

Reality:

Few feelings are greater than eating a warm, satisfying meal and knowing that you don’t feel guilty about anything.You should remain healthy and eat cookies, oils, delicious casseroles, and heart-rending stews.The key is to keep an eye on the ingredients that you are using. Both beans and squash are incredible in adding heft to things such as salads, soups and casseroles. Healthy fats such as avocado are both odorless and filling. And yes, right before you heard me: You can still eat cookies. By eliminating ingredients such as milk and oil, and incorporating fruits and veggies in your recipes, you can make your favorite sweet treats healthy and indulge in them.
