Costco Haul - Polar Black Garlic Cured Super Food

Polar Black Garlic Cured Super Food 20 oz

      A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to Costco and found that they were selling black garlic, Polar Black Garlic Cured Super Food! As you might know, black garlic is a superfood and has a lot of health benefits such as antibacterial effect. While I was having a cold, I ate the black garlic two days in a row, and I was able to get over it. It's been a long while since we had black garlic, so we decided to purchase one. :)


Do You Want To Make Black Garlic?
       As I mentioned in my previous entry, How I Make Black Garlic at Home, I was successfully able to make black garlic at home in 2016. It was very easy, but I don't really recommend you to make it at home because the garlic releases very strong smell during fermentation. The strong smell might bother your neighbors. However, if you really want to make black garlic, you can watch my video, How to Make Black Garlic at Home. I was able to make black garlic without bothering my neighbors(I think!).

Polar Black Garlic Cured Super Food (Costco vs Amazon) 
      At Costco, Polar Black Garlic Cured Super Food 20 oz (568g) was $14.99. You can also find the same black garlic on Amazon, but Costco one is cheaper obviously. However, if you want to get the smallest quantity one, you can purchase a 5-oz one for around $5 on Amazon.

How Much Should You Eat Black Garlic? 
      The package reads, the serving size is 3 pieces, but Aomori Prefecture Black Garlic Association suggests eating 1 to 2 cloves of garlic a day because consuming a large quantity of garlic doesn't mean increasing efficacy. That's why I recommend you to eat a 1/2 piece of black garlic a day.

Uses: Black garlic is a versatile ingredient that can be eaten as is once peeled, used in dressings, dips, sauces, spread, or as a secret ingredient for gourmet cuisines.

Black garlic is a delicacy from Eastern Asia. The garlic goes through a natural cured process that breaks down the enzymes in the fresh garlic without additives or preservatives. This process colors the garlic bulbs black creates its rich, complex and caramelized flavor. Black garlic has a sweet, savory umami taste with hints of balsamic vinegar and garlic notes. Its unique exotic taste makes any dish go from simply flavored to robust and delicious.
