Burned garlic turns bitter and almost metallic in flavor. This bitterness can overpower other ingredients in your dish, making even well-seasoned meals less enjoyable.
3. Nutritional Impact
Garlic contains allicin, a compound responsible for many of its health benefits, including immune support and antioxidant properties. Extended cooking or burning destroys allicin, reducing garlic’s nutritional value significantly.
4. Appearance
After 15 minutes of burning, garlic cloves or minced pieces turn dark brown or black, shriveling in texture. This not only affects presentation but also signals overcooking.
