Hardcore Carnivore: Black

Black contains all the classics like salt, pepper, garlic, brown sugar, onion and a hint of chili. It's a flavor profile that's neutral enough to work with a variety of different proteins. It can be used for pan and oven searing but best results are found when cooked over charcoal or open flame. Black will boost not just the flavor, but the appearance of your food. First: it provides a great foundation base for a crust to form, particularly when grilled.Second: since the product darkens the exterior of the meat prior to cooking, you won't be tempted to overcook it just to achieve an appealing outer color - it's already half way there before you even start cooking. Thirdly: the vivid black color creates an amazing contrast against interior of the meat, making it incredibly visually appealing. Yes, the charcoal is safe. This is definitely not the same charcoal as the stuff in your grill! Hardcore Carnivore: Black contains food-grade activated charcoalmade from coconut husks.
