The little black dress is a timeless classic.  Now it appears that ”eating black” is also in style.5954781204_cbc60c6ef1_b

Black garlic, black rice, black quinoa, black beans, black lentils. 

These ebony-hued foods are not only dramatic in appearance, in most cases they offer a specific health advantage, too.   That’s good thing, since black foods are riding high in popularity.6744043519_7f84675b5b_z

The Black garlic looks interesting! I will have to check into using it, It might turn people off, but I think most people like to try somthing better!

I’m a big fans of black garlic for its texture, flavour and aromas…
hunting the black garlic all over the internet eddedup with fail,
so i made my homemade black garlic,
from 20 cloves garlic that i fermented, they come out success with only 6 of them, the vaccum pack is the key !

i know why this is so pricey due to prescize prosses and highly energy consume to create them…
