This looks so good! I’ve never seen black garlic before… where do you find that? Is it any different than regular garlic?
We didn’t know what it was before this either. The local supermarket didn’t have it, but the Whole Foods nearby did. It’s very different – it’s super soft and sweet tasting. I think it’s essentially fermented garlic but I’m not sure.
