Black Garlic: Superpowers for Health? Discover its Benefits & Uses!
- •Black garlic is regular garlic aged at 60-77°C for 15-90 days, turning it black, soft, sweet, and non-pungent via the Maillard reaction.
- •Unlike raw garlic's allicin, black garlic contains S-allyl cysteine (SAC), a powerful, easily absorbed antioxidant, ideal for those sensitive to raw garlic.
- •It boosts immunity, reduces inflammation, supports heart and liver health, helps detoxify, and may inhibit cancer cell growth.
- •Consume 1-2 cloves directly, or add to salads, spreads, and cooked dishes; available online for ₹250-₹400 per 100g.
- •Consult a doctor if on blood thinners; consume in moderation if you have poor digestion. It's a health aid, not a cure-all.
Why It Matters: Black garlic offers unique health benefits as an easily digestible, antioxidant-rich superfood.
