Garlic is a food with a strong flavor, so it is not usually eaten alone, but as a seasoning for other preparations and generally in small quantities.

Thus, there is another alternative to traditional garlic, which is black garlic, which does not have such a strong smell and taste, but is gradually emerging as a superfood for the culinary world and also for people’s health.

Qualities of black garlic

Among the great benefits of black garlic stands out its ability to fight hypertension, it is rich in protein and also in B vitamins. But in addition, it is also a superfood to reduce cholesterol, the risk of type 2 diabetes, fatigue and stress.

On the other hand, it has antioxidant capacity, promotes digestion of the organism, provides energy and is ideal for strengthening the health of the immune system.

Two of the most outstanding properties of black garlic and traditional garlic are its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. In addition, we must add the good dose of vitamin C that it contains; and for all this it is a highly beneficial food to increase the action of the defenses against viruses and bacteria.

We must not forget that black garlic is also a superfood because it provides 18 essential amino acids to the organism, of the 20 types that exist. Among them are arginine and tryptophan.

Amino acids are essential substances that the organism cannot generate and that it is necessary to incorporate through food. Black garlic is an ideal food in this respect.

All in all, black garlic is also a superfood because it helps prevent cardiovascular diseases. It contributes to improving the condition of the arteries, as it reduces the amount of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood.

Finally, another virtue of black garlic is that it is a source of protein and collagen. Collagen is a vital substance for the health of the skin, which is involved in regenerating and strengthening joints, tissues and bones.

How to take this superfood

Black garlic is a food that has already made its way into the culinary world, since in addition to its health benefits and properties, it is also very versatile when it comes to preparing different recipes.

This food has a very particular flavor and is difficult to compare with other ingredients. It stands out for its slightly spicy flavor with a sweet tone.

Thus, black garlic can be added to salads, chicken, pork, spread on toast or added to pasta. In case of combining it in other foods that require cooking, it is advisable to cook the corresponding foods first and then add the black garlic, given the peculiarity of this superfood.
