Use the cloves as you would roasted garlic: Purée them with oil, then smear the paste on crostini, incorporate it into dressings, or rub it onto chicken or fish before roasting. Powdered, it's like umami fairy dust: Sprinkle it on anything that wants some earthiness and depth.
Keeping this in consideration, how do you use black garlic in a recipe?

Also to know, does black garlic need to be cooked?
Black garlic starts off as regular whole head of garlic that is cooked at a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, in a humid environment, for nearly a month. The slow cooking process transforms the previously pungent cloves into soft, sweet, sticky and slightly acidic black or dark-brown garlic.
The minimum effective dose for raw garlic is one segment (clove) eaten two to three times per day. You can also take an aged garlic supplement. In that case, a normal dose is 600 to 1,200 mg per day.
