Garlic powder's more robust and caramelized counterpart, this spice will likely be your new secret ingredient in the kitchen. Our Black Garlic Powder has an aroma that's reminiscent of deeply roasted garlic but with a sweet, umami roasted funkiness that will take your cooking to another level.
Ingredients
Black garlic powder
Origin
San Antonio, Texas
What happens when you hold fresh white garlic bulbs grown in San Antonio, Texas hostage in a room heated to 130 degrees Fahrenheit for two months? The Maillard reaction! When the allium’s natural enzymes break down its sugars, a caramelization process takes place at the speed of, appropriately, molasses—contrary to popular belief this is not “fermentation.” The now-black bulbs, which have a deep, rich sweetness with notes of fig and balsamic vinegar, are then dehydrated and ground into a powder.
Tips for Success
Black garlic powder can be used in nearly every way just as regular garlic powder is used.
It will have a much sweeter, umami, roasty flavor and pack a big punch.
Great in anything from rubs to sauces to a finishing touch.
