Final Notes

Black Garlic, when eaten "raw", is chewy with a very mild garlic flavor, sweet undertones, molasses, and chocolate notes, and there is seldom heat or spiciness with black garlic. For best results, grind the black garlic paste using a mortar and pestle. Otherwise, use a small food processor.
