Do you still have garlic from last year's crop? If there's a green sprout inside it’s waking up! Even before it emerges, antioxidants go up—but so can bitterness, especially raw. Cooking tones it down. Spring has sprung—and your garlic might have sprunged too.

What is Black Garlic?
Through a slow cooking process raw garlic bulbs go through the Maillard Reaction, producing a complex array of roasted and caramelized compounds.
The tangy balsamic and molasses-like qualities of black garlic provides a counterpoint to chocolate’s polyphenolic bitterness.
