EVOO and Black Garlic: The Health Perks

Black Garlic & Extra Virgin Olive Oil – The Perfect Health Duo

Some things just go together: peanut butter and jam, ketchup and mustard, and of course, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and Black Garlic. This powerhouse combination not only enhances flavor but also offers unparalleled health benefits.

Most condiments taste good but provide little to no health benefits. In fact, many, like ketchup, are packed with sugar and processed ingredients. But Black Garlic and EVOO offer an explosion of flavor and nutrition, making them a must-have in any kitchen.

Health Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet and one of the most scientifically-backed superfoods. Here’s why it should be your go-to oil:

• Fights Cancer: Oleocanthal in EVOO has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer.
• Heart-Healthy: Lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) while maintaining or increasing good cholesterol (HDL), reducing heart disease risk.
• Regulates Blood Pressure: Studies show that EVOO can help lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
• Supports Weight Loss: A Mediterranean diet rich in EVOO is more effective for weight loss than low-fat diets.
• Boosts Brain Function: EVOO protects against cognitive decline and may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.
• Reduces Inflammation: Packed with polyphenols and antioxidants that help fight inflammation-related diseases.

Health Benefits of Black Garlic

Black Garlic is created through a fermentation process that enhances its nutrient profile, making it twice as powerful as raw garlic. Here’s what makes it a nutritional powerhouse:

• Cancer-Fighting Properties: Black Garlic is rich in S-allylcysteine, a compound known for its ability to help prevent cancer and reduce tumor growth.
• Cholesterol Control: Fermentation increases Black Garlic’s ability to lower LDL cholesterol while maintaining healthy heart function.
• Powerful Antioxidant Boost: Contains twice the antioxidants of raw garlic, protecting against oxidative stress and aging.
• Immune System Support: Allicin, a key active ingredient, has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
• Rich in Essential Vitamins & Minerals: High in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Selenium, Phosphorus, and Calcium.

The Mediterranean Diet & Blue Zones

Both Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Black Garlic are deeply rooted in the Mediterranean diet, which has been linked to longer life expectancy, reduced inflammation, and improved heart health.

Regions classified as Blue Zones, where people live longer and healthier lives, consume large amounts of EVOO and nutrient-rich plant-based foods. This diet has been scientifically proven to:

• Reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
• Improve brain function and cognitive longevity.
• Support gut health and digestion.
