Whether you're looking to add some extra flavor to your meal or want to enjoy some of the health benefits of basmati rice, consider adding this versatile grain to your diet.
Garlic is one of the oldest and most popular culinary herbs in the world. Standard garlic is white, but there's a black variant that's growing in popularity. Black garlic is made by fermenting regular garlic cloves in a humid environment for several weeks. This process alters the garlic's flavor, giving it a sweeter, more intense taste. In addition to its unique flavor, black garlic also has a number of health benefits. Studies have shown that it can help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as boost the immune system. Additionally, black garlic contains twice as many antioxidants as regular garlic, making it an excellent choice for those looking to improve their overall health. So if you're looking for something new to add to your next dish, consider giving black garlic.
