🖤 Why I Swear by Black Garlic — Even Mike Tyson Would Approve
Many people wouldn’t dare eat raw garlic — the consequences can be quite pungent. I’ve always struggled with it too. But that changed during my travels through Europe, when I discovered black fermented garlic from local farmers.
I gave it a try, tested it for a while, and slowly realized: not all garlic is the same. Black garlic? That’s the real deal. It’s mild, slightly sweet, and doesn’t leave you with that intense smell. After such a great experience, I knew I had to add it to the trusted Gingerbeli portfolio. Even my family and friends couldn’t believe the difference!
And then came Cannes Lions — the moment that sealed the deal.
The main photo on my blog from the festival speaks for itself. Can you imagine meeting boxing legend Mike Tyson while reeking of regular garlic? I certainly can’t! I don’t even know what I would’ve done — he might’ve thought I was mute just to avoid speaking too close. 😄
But thanks to black garlic (which has no smell at all), I met him twice in the elevator within 20 minutes while working on a photoshoot for my new Gingerbeli product — black garlic! The photographer I collaborated with was actually shooting with Mike Tyson, which gave me the chance to talk to him and take some photos. It was a surreal moment — full of grace, smiles, and humility.
But let’s go back to the garlic.
Since I started using black garlic regularly, I’ve noticed real benefits, especially when I needed a little boost in life — from my immunity to dealing with minor health issues. Two cloves a day, and I usually felt the difference. Of course, regular garlic also has amazing health benefits, but... you have to be ready to deal with the after-smell. 😉
Yes, pharmacies are full of odor-free garlic capsules, but honestly — who really knows what’s inside them? I prefer to keep things natural and fresh. That’s what Gingerbeli is all about.
And then I discovered the black Gingerbeli garlic from local farmers in Europe! Finally, I can enjoy garlic anytime I want without worrying about any activities during the day because black garlic has no odor. It even has a naturally sweet taste. Honestly, black Gingerbeli garlic saved me.

What actually makes black garlic... black?
Black Gingerbeli garlic is made by slowly heating whole garlic bulbs over several weeks at carefully controlled humidity and temperature. This fermentation process softens the cloves, caramelizes them, and turns them jet black — giving them a rich, almost balsamic-like sweetness.
But the big question everyone asks is:
Is black Gingerbeli garlic really healthier than regular garlic?
That was my first question too. So I started digging. And the answer seems to be: yes.
I found studies showing that black garlic contains higher levels of antioxidants and S-allylcysteine (SAC) — a compound that helps the body absorb allicin. And allicin? That’s garlic’s magic compound. It’s known to help prevent certain types of cancer, lower blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, and regulate blood pressure.
That was enough to get me thinking.
So, I started testing the benefits of black Gingerbeli garlic on myself — and on my most skeptical group: my closest family and friends. Let’s just say... it took some convincing. Most of them questioned why I was even bothering with black garlic and where I came up with such a "weird idea." But once they saw (and felt) the difference, they came around.
Here are the 8 key benefits I’ve personally found most interesting — and have tested myself:
✨ 1. Antioxidant Power
Black garlic is loaded with antioxidants — thanks to allicin. These powerful compounds protect your cells from oxidative stress and aging. Fun fact: the peak antioxidant level in black garlic is said to happen around day 21 of fermentation.
🍭 2. Blood Sugar & Appetite Support
Especially helpful for those with diabetes or sugar sensitivity. Studies show black garlic may lower glucose and insulin levels, improve cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and even act as a gentle appetite regulator — which we all appreciate when watching our weight.
🧠 3. Focus & Mental Clarity
This one surprised me the most! I honestly feel more focused and energized when I take it regularly. Placebo or not — it works for me. Some studies even suggest benefits for memory loss and Alzheimer’s. My family has also started noticing the difference.
✨ 4. Glowing Skin
I’ve noticed that when I eat black garlic regularly, my skin looks brighter and smoother. And my cousin’s teenage daughter? She's now obsessed with it for her acne — and she hated the idea of garlic at first. She now swears by it more than her expensive skincare.
✈️ 5. Stronger Immunity
Black Gingerbeli garlic has helped keep me strong and healthy during frequent travel, jet lag, and change of environments. It’s become part of my daily routine.
💋 6. Libido Boost
Let’s just say... try it and thank me later. 😉 That’s all I’ll say here.
😵💫 7. Post-Party Recovery
The best detox after a wild weekend? Black garlic. My sister once made garlic spread at 3 AM after a party — but the smell haunted our house until Friday. If only I had black garlic back then, she could’ve had it like pocket money! 😄
🌕 8. Better Sleep
Struggling to sleep during a full moon (or just a stressful week)? Since taking black Gingerbeli garlic regularly, I’ve had fewer sleepless nights. It’s part of my natural wind-down routine now.
I fully believe that every body is different, and we all need to listen to what works for us. But if you’re looking for a gentle, natural way to support your body — with something that’s also delicious — I highly recommend trying black Gingerbeli garlic.
Check out the videos I’ve created about it — I’ve truly fallen in love with this product. And I think you might too.
Have a beautiful (but not black) day!
