In reply to Hillary.

I had to look into this more before replying. From what I have read, black garlic is created by heating it for a long period of time, causing a chemical reaction between the sugars and amino acids within garlic to produce melanoidin which creates the dark color – this process called a Maillard reaction. While technically it is not caramelization, it’s more akin to that than fermentation which creates alcohol from sugar – but they are all very similar!

Black garlic is not caramelized, but FERMENTED.

In reply to Kayle (The Cooking Actress). Hehe yea it's pretty amazing. You can pop it out of it's skin and spread it on toast like butter. But better.
