The process for black garlic originated in Korea. It is the same garlic that we offer as fresh garlic (typically the variety Music) but fermented at elevated temperature and humidity.
It is very probiotic and has 2x the health benefits of fresh garlic.
It has a wonderful mild garlic flavor with overtones of molasses.
I am making commercial quantities of black garlic this year.
Let's look at how this works.

Buckwheat pan cakes with Blue Berries
I've been doing a lower carb diet lately and I wanted to make pancakes for breakfast last Sunday morning.
Buckwheat is about half the carbs of regular flour.

Carrots
I planted our third planting of carrots today. Marked them with over seeding of radishes. I'm trying out a new variety from Amsterdam, along with our standard candy carrots. Planted about 500 feet of row in a double row.
