Did you know that….
Black garlic has nearly twice the amount of antioxidants as white garlic, is low in fat and rich in natural sugars and amino acids. It has also been found to help lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease and reduce the risk of cancer. In Asia, black garlic is nibbled as a nutritionally rich snack but it works equally as well in this simple summer salad.
