This powdered black garlic offers a concentrated, sweetly caramelized garlic flavor with deep savory notes that enhance everything from sauces and rubs to roasted vegetables.

The product arrives as two compact jars, ideal for keeping one at the stove and one reserved for travel or gifting.

How will this change the flavor of my everyday dishes?

Ground fermented black garlic adds layered sweetness and rich umami without harsh raw garlic heat. It melds into both hot and cold preparations, giving a mellow, almost balsamic-like depth that elevates simple recipes.

• Adds concentrated savory-sweet notes to soups, stews, and sauces.
• Balances acidity in vinaigrettes and tomato-based dishes.
• Enhances marinades and dry rubs for meats and vegetables.
• Works well in compound butters, dips, or blended into hummus.

How do I use ground black garlic in cooking and at what quantities?

Because the powder is potent, start small and increase to taste. Typical use ranges from a pinch in delicate recipes to a teaspoon or more in heartier sauces and meat rubs.

• Start with 1/8–1/4 teaspoon for dressings and delicate dishes.
• Use 1/2–1 teaspoon per cup in robust sauces, marinades, or stews.
• Combine with oil to make a paste for spreading or basting.
• Blend into seasonings or finishing salts for a concentrated boost.
