Some foods have all the luck! Black garlic is not only an incredibly delicious taste experience, but it has lots of health benefits as well.
Black garlic gets its origins from Korea, where it was developed as a health product several centuries ago. Prized today in Japan and Thailand, as well as Korea, black garlic is a relative newcomer to the U.S. mainstream market (since about 2008). It is now increasingly recognized for its unique taste as well as its health boosting properties. A growing body of research suggests there may be many benefits to adding this nutrient-rich food to your diet.
These potential benefits include contributing to:
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Repair of age-damaged skin
- Cardioprotective effects
- Lowered cholesterol levels
- Prevention of diabetic complications
- Boost to the immune system
- Lowered the risk of cancer
- Therapeutic management of liver injury
- Increased levels of antioxidants
With black garlic having about twice the levels of antioxidants as raw garlic, this health-packed product won’t be in the dark long! Heightened levels of antioxidants provide protection from free radical damage. It’s those free radicals that damage cells, which can lead to circulatory problems, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic diseases.
Quarter-Moon Farm black garlic products have the added benefit of being organic. Eat the cloves as a snack, or use in recipes to make meals extra sensational while reaping multiple health benefits.
