Black Garlic Powder

Soft and mildly sweet with savory, rich undertones, black garlic is an umami-packed ingredient that sets itself apart from normal, sharp and pungent garlic. Still not found in most grocery stores, black garlic has grown in popularity in recent years as a simple way to add a complex, earthy-sweet boost to dishes. Using California-grown fresh garlic, The Black Garlic Company, based in Texas, ages their cloves for 60 days to achieve a nearly caramelized depth. The allium is then gently dried to preserve its funky flavor before being made into a powder for an easier and more approachable way to incorporate it while cooking. Rather than tackling a few sticky whole cloves, which can be hard to peel and chop, we love being able to grab it from the spice cabinet instead. Add into sauces, aiolis, eggs, noodles, rice, marinades, meats and more for umami-bomb flavor. A little goes a long way.

Place of Origin: Texas, USA [/accordions-break] The secret of black garlic is science![/banner_heading] It’s all thanks to the Maillard reaction, a chemical interaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned food a distinct, caramelized flavor and aroma—like after grilling a steak. In the case of black garlic, the Maillard reaction happens with the combination of lengthy aging and a consistent low heat. The cloves transform from white to black over the process and result in that signature, earthy-sweet flavor that brings depth and complexity to just about any dish.
