Black garlic, also known as black garlic, fermented black garlic, and black garlic, is made by using fresh raw garlic with its skin and fermenting it in a high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation box for 60 to 90 days, allowing it to ferment naturally. It is the best anti-cancer food. Let me learn more about how to make black garlic.

How to make black garlic:

Use fresh raw garlic with the skin on and place it in a high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation box for natural fermentation for 60 to 90 days. Serve.

Some people make it at home. The method is as follows:

Put the cleaned fresh garlic with skin into a household electric rice cooker, set it to the heat preservation state and leave it for about 10 to 15 days.

Another method:

1. Place the whole unpeeled garlic in a clean container. The container can be of any material as long as it is heat-safe and large enough to hold all the garlic.

2. Wrap the container with tin foil. Wrap it as tightly as possible to prevent any contaminants from getting in and prevent too much of the garlic aroma from escaping.

3. Place the wrapped container in the oven and set it to about 60 degrees Celsius. You can also use a rice cooker set to keep warm (in fact, only some rice cookers in China can keep warm at 60 degrees Celsius) or other machines that can maintain a constant temperature. Just make sure the temperature stays between 55 and 65 degrees Celsius and it doesn't automatically shut down.

4. Let the garlic ferment in the container for 40 days. It is ready to eat after 10 days of fermentation. For best results, you should wait the full 40 days. By that time, the garlic cloves have become jet black in color, a little soft and a little sweet.

Tips: Please choose whole, plump garlic, unpeeled and free of mold. Because fermentation requires very high quality garlic, it’s best to use the best garlic you can find for fermentation.

Keeping it warm for 40 days not only consumes electricity, but the most important thing is to pay attention to safety and do not put any flammable items near the oven.
