Black Garlic is an all natural product free of additives, preservatives, colorants or flavorings. The only ingredient used in our fermented black garlic… is garlic. It takes an entire month for the gentle heat of the special roasting process to ferment the garlic heads enough to develop its deep flavor and uniquely black cloves, naturally, over time. The end result is a sweet and savory spin on garlic that loses all of its originally occurring bitterness and pungency when raw, and exchanges it with a smooth flavor profile similar to that of demi glacé, figs, or stone fruits. Aside from the look and smell, the texture of the clove is by far the most surprising aspect – just soft enough to spread on a piece of baguette. Try it in a garlic aioli or with a bit of olive oil and balsamic at the table; we’re sure you’ll find it amazing. If you happen to come up with some great applications, we would love to hear from you – please feel free to toss us an email. *Shelf Life: 9 MONTHS*

Now it’s easier than ever to produce organic compost – and in weeks, not the months that outdoor composting requires. This ingenious compact unit brings composting into the garage or utility room and, if the simple instructions are properly followed, makes the process clean and fast. Every two weeks, you’ll have a supply of nitrogen-rich soil amendment for the garden. At the same time, you’re helping reduce the household waste sent to landfills. The unit accepts most food scraps (including dairy, meat and fish) and automatically mixes, heats and aerates them. Once the process is complete, it transfers the composted mixture to the lower chamber for curing and easy removal. You can continue to add food daily; a powerful carbon filter absorbs odors.
