Wise Goat Organics — Honey Fermented Garlic - Raw & Organic

Two of the oldest kitchen remedies in one jar: raw organic honey and fresh organic garlic, fermented together for over a year.

Honey Fermented Garlic is exactly two ingredients. Whole peeled cloves are submerged in raw honey and left alone. The moisture in the garlic thins the honey just enough for a slow, natural ferment to begin. Over months the garlic loses its harsh bite and turns soft, mellow and almost sweet, while the honey takes on a deep garlic savoriness. Both garlic and raw honey have been used for generations to support the immune system, and neither is heated here, so the enzymes in the honey and the compounds in the garlic stay intact.

Who this is for

• You reach for garlic and honey at the first sign of a scratchy throat
• You want a traditional winter staple in the pantry before the season starts
• You cook a lot and want a glaze or marinade base that does the work for you
• You want a simple fermented food with no salt, no vinegar and nothing added

How to use

Eat a clove and a spoonful of the honey straight, or stir the honey into warm (not hot) tea. In the kitchen, use it as a salad dressing base, in barbecue sauce, as a roasted chicken glaze, in a char siu marinade, mixed with soy sauce over rice, on a charcuterie board, or on pizza.

Ingredients: raw organic honey, fresh organic garlic. Store at room temperature or in the fridge. The honey will thin and darken over time; that is normal. Not for children under one year old because of the raw honey.
