Already popular in Korea and Japan, black garlic is simply regular garlic that's aged and fermented until it develops a dark color and soft texture. It may look funny, but the flavor is seriously savory with a touch of sweetness (think hints of molasses), minus the bite and pungency of raw garlic.

And food lovers aren't the only fans of this "it" ingredient. Black garlic has long been praised for its health benefits, which include high levels of antioxidants (some claim it has almost double those in regular garlic) and antibacterial compounds believed to fight cancer.

Buy some online and start experimenting by using it in your favorite dishes (like roast chicken), these recipes, or any way you like. Its mild flavor and tender consistency make it so versatile, you could even pop some straight into your mouth as a snack.

THANKS!
