Black garlic is generally made by aging harvested garlic bulbs under controlled temperature and humidity. It is not a separate botanical garlic species grown directly from black-colored seeds. To grow garlic, use healthy planting cloves of an identified garlic variety rather than processed black garlic intended for consumption.
Separate a healthy garlic bulb into individual cloves without removing their protective outer skins. Plant each clove with its pointed end facing upward in loose, well-drained soil. Provide full sunlight, suitable spacing, and regular watering while the plants establish and develop bulbs.
Garlic is generally harvested when several lower leaves have turned brown while the upper leaves remain partly green. The exact timing depends on the variety and planting season. Carefully loosen the soil around the bulbs, lift them without damaging the outer skin, and allow them to cure in a dry, well-ventilated place.
