Black Garlic: All the Rage

If your foodie friends are talking about Black Garlic and you're NOT in the know... it is aged and fermented raw garlic.  It is rife with "umami" - that raw protein richness that some foods carry like mushrooms.  Since it's fermented, it will keep a really long time (about a year after opened on the counter!).  It comes in foil pouches, and can be eaten directly - which alot of people are doing for the health benefits of garlic.  It goes down much easier than "raw" garlic! Yum!  To your health, Lula
