The truths about black garlic
Black garlic has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its unique flavor and health benefits. But what exactly is black garlic, and why is it so special? In this post, we'll dive into the definition of black garlic, its benefits, and the truth behind its production. We'll also introduce PreAureum Black Garlic, a product that is changing the game in the black garlic industry.
What is Black Garlic?
Black garlic is a type of garlic that has been fermented under high temperatures and humidity for several weeks. This process breaks down the sugars and amino acids in garlic and creates a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy taste that is unlike regular garlic. Black garlic has a soft, chewy texture and a distinct black color.
Black Garlic Benefits
Black garlic is not only known for its unique flavor, but also for its health benefits. Here are a few benefits of black garlic:
Antioxidant Properties: Black garlic is high in antioxidants, which can help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals.
Improved Heart Health: Studies have shown that black garlic can help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve circulation, all of which can lead to better heart health.
Immune Boosting: Black garlic is packed with nutrients that can help boost your immune system, including vitamins C and B6, as well as selenium.
Anti-Inflammatory: Black garlic contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate pain.
The Truths About Black Garlic Production
While black garlic may seem like a new and trendy food, it has been a traditional ingredient in Korean and Japanese cuisine for centuries. However, most black garlic products on the market today are made with ingredients from China, where the raw garlic used in the fermentation process is often of lower quality and mass-produced. This has led to concerns about the safety and quality of black garlic products from China.
Even the most popular black garlic in the market that claimed "Made in Canada", "Made in USA", etc. may use the raw garlic imported from China because it's cheap. For example, we understand that to qualify as "Made in Canada", a product needs to have at least 51% of its production cost in Canada even though it may be originally come from China. Given that items such as packaging, transportation are fairly expensive and hence make up more than 51% of the cost, it is possible for a product to be branded as Made in Canada whilst it was in fact coming from China.
Why are we against the black garlic from China? There are plenties of articles and discussion mentioned about the garlic from China (e.g. here) which we don't want to repeat here. We aren't against the products from China but in our point of view, as a consumer, you should ask yourself why the product is cheap (mass production, using stimulates to cut short the growing time, etc.) and why the manufacturers are hesitant to disclose where they get their ingredients from. It's the food that you will consume into your body, so is your body deserved any foods without knowing where it is from?
