The fermentation process not only changes the taste of garlic, but also the minerals and nutrients available. Compared to regular garlic, fermented garlic exhibits enhanced bioactivity. Bioactive components in food help your body function and promote better health.   Pickled cloves can be used in place of fresh garlic. Or try using them to stuff pitted olives, served alongside cheese canapés, added to Mediterranean stews, mashed into potato with olive oil, or served alongside other zingy palate cleansers at a raclette dinner.
