[Product Description]
• ✅ Approximately 60 degrees Brix (※1). The rich sweetness and flavor of ripe fruit in "Genkoku Black Garlic." Carefully aged using the latest fermentation machine with far-infrared radiation on Fukuchi White Six Cloves grown in Aomori Prefecture. Each clove is maximized for umami, making this a luxurious, carefully selected black garlic.
• ✅ Genkoku's black garlic is additive-free, water-free, and preservative-free. It is fermented solely with the moisture contained in the garlic, resulting in no drips and a mild aroma. It can be enjoyed as is, simply peeled without cooking or washing.
• ✅ Made from carefully selected ingredients grown with organic fertilizer by contracted farmers in Nanbu Town, Aomori Prefecture, the birthplace of Fukuchi White Six Cloves. It is free from radiation (※2) and residual pesticides (※3) (tested for 213 items), ensuring safety and peace of mind. The fresh, high-quality garlic grown under snow is large and packed with nutrients, offering a rich flavor.
• ✅ Using advanced fermentation equipment with special ceramic far-infrared rays, it produces fully fermented black garlic with less bitterness and higher effectiveness. Daily moisture levels are measured, and temperature is meticulously controlled with sensors at 36 points inside the cooker. This ensures uniform fermentation, resulting in crispy skin and sticky, delicious interior.
• ✅ Black garlic contains more beneficial functional components such as S-allyl cysteine and polyphenols, which are effective for beauty and health, compared to white garlic. It also includes aspartic acid, essential amino acids, and GABA. Black garlic is gentle on the stomach and has a mild odor, making it suitable for daily consumption.
• ✅ Perfect for canapés with crackers topped with cream cheese and black garlic. Great as a snack with alcohol or for children. If the flavor is too strong, enjoy with milk or soy milk. It can also be used in salads, omelets, curry, pasta, and various other dishes.
