EMPATHY Black Garlic Peeled Cloves 120g

Unlock a world of sophisticated flavor with Empathy Black Garlic Peeled Cloves. These cloves have undergone a patient, natural aging process where heat and humidity transform ordinary white garlic into a dark, jelly-like delicacy. The result is a total chemical transformation: the harsh pungency of raw garlic vanishes, replaced by a complex, syrupy sweetness with hints of balsamic, molasses, and licorice. Already peeled and ready to eat, these cloves are a versatile "superfood" that bridges the gap between gourmet ingredient and therapeutic snack.

Product Details & Benefits

• Gourmet Umami: Provides a deep, savoury richness that enhances both sweet and savoury dishes without the "garlic breath" or digestive discomfort often caused by raw garlic.
• Highly Bioavailable Antioxidants: The aging process significantly increases the levels of S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC) and polyphenols, which are more easily absorbed by the body than those found in fresh garlic.
• Heart & Immune Support: Known for its ability to support healthy cholesterol levels and circulation, while providing a powerful boost to the body's natural defences.
• Ready to Use: Hand-peeled for your convenience; no messy skins or prep work required. Simply toss them into your favourite recipes or enjoy them straight from the jar.
• 100% Natural: Contains no additives, preservatives, or added sugars. The sweetness is naturally developed through the Maillard reaction during the aging process.
• Dietary Friendly: Vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and keto-compliant.

• The Healthy Snack: Many enthusiasts eat 1–2 cloves daily like a savoury "gummy" for a quick antioxidant boost.
• Salad & Grain Bowls: Slice the soft cloves and toss them through a kale salad, quinoa bowl, or over roasted beets for a pop of dark, sweet flavor.
• Charcuterie Boards: Feature whole cloves alongside sharp cheeses, cured meats, and walnuts to impress guests with a unique tasting experience.
• Pizza & Flatbread Topping: Scatter sliced cloves over a white-sauce pizza or goat cheese flatbread just before serving.
• Stuffing & Roasts: Tuck whole cloves into a roast chicken or lamb, or chop them into a gourmet mushroom stuffing for incredible depth.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is best to keep the jar refrigerated to preserve the soft, tacky texture and complex flavor profile of the cloves. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the cloves from drying out.

Ingredients

100% Aged Black Garlic Cloves.

Note: Black garlic is much softer than regular garlic. It has a texture similar to dried fruit or fudge, making it easy to mash with a fork or slice thinly with a knife.
