Demand for black garlic and black garlic-based product is growing in Germany after research at the University of Freiburg has found that black garlic has a high antioxidant content, is rich in vitamins and minerals, and helps improve the immune system.
“Thai black garlic producers and exporters should penetrate the German market to meet the higher demand by consumers. It is better to offer organic black garlic because the health-conscious consumers prefer chemical-free products,” DITP Director-General, Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat, said on June 19. “Target consumers include the health-conscious and Asians, including Korean, Japanese and Chinese, living in Germany.”
