Garlic gives dishes a lot of flavor, but has nasty consequences.
There are home remedies against the garlic flag - a little-known trick is particularly helpful here.
Garlic
gives many dishes a characteristic and tasty
flavor
But: Anyone who
eats
garlic
must
fear
bad
breath
A few simple
home remedies will
help consumers *
get rid of
the
garlic odor
.
Offenbach - From Tsatsiki to Bruschetta to
Gai Pad Prik:
Garlic
is an integral part of many dishes.
Almost everyone knows
what
follows
from enjoying the
spicy toes
:
Bad breath
.
If you don't want to do without garlic in the kitchen, or if
you
don't switch quickly
to the question
"With garlic?" In
the kebab shop *
, you have to ask yourself quickly: How do I
get rid of
the
garlic flag
?
In extreme cases, gourmets can keep it for longer than a day.
In addition to a few simple tricks, a preventive measure can help against
garlic smell
.
However, hardly anyone knows them.
Garlic: Getting Rid of Odor - Where the stench comes from and how it goes away
Actually, the
spicy aroma
of
fresh garlic
stewing in the pan creates the right ambience on the stove. It only becomes problematic after consumption, because the unpleasant
smell
forms only in our body. One of the ingredients in the toes is
allicin
, a sulfur-containing amino acid. If this is broken down in the stomach and intestines, the substance is distributed throughout the body via the blood. The
characteristic
garlic smell
is then secreted
through the
respiratory tract
and
skin
, which, by the
way,
smells a little different
for everyone due to different genetic preferences
.
The home remedies that
are supposed to counteract
the
garlic odor
are well known.
They include:
Herbs like
parsley
, sage or
mint
.
Your essential oils are said to
dispel bad breath
.
If you don't want to nibble on the greens, it's best to use chewing gum.
However: A study by Ohio State University has found that raw
mint leaves work
best against the
garlic flag
.
By the way, raw lettuce and raw apples help almost as well.
Drinking
milk
with meals is said to
help
prevent
the
garlic odor
.
Odor culprit,
allicin,
is fat-soluble.
The trick is to hold the liquid in your mouth for a moment with each sip.
Cardamom, coffee beans, ginger - on them after
eating
chewing up to ten minutes to the
garlic fumes
also reduce.
The effect is only temporary, however.
Garlic smell: After eating, it is usually too late
But already grandmother knew that
caution
is better than cure. This also applies to
cooking
with
garlic
. Garlic is said to be good for your health thanks to allicin, for example because it helps ward off viruses and prevents heart disease - but this is not a good argument for
bad breath
at job interviews or on the first date
. Once this is there, it is
hardly possible
to come up against
it in the long term
. Even the best home remedies only help temporarily.
You can prevent this misfortune with
cucumber water
.
Cucumbers contain odor-neutralizing agents, so-called
phytochemicals
.
The trick is to catch the water that the cucumbers secrete when slicing and then
briefly soak
the shredded
garlic clove
in it.
Although this retains its taste, the smell is reduced.
The
trick is particularly useful with tsatziki,
whose recipe
includes
cucumber
anyway.
Professional chef Peter Asch swears by it, who revealed this tip in the “Apotheken Umschau”.
By the way: Most of the
allicin
is found in the core of the garlic clove: removing this before processing also prevents the
odor
in front.
Store garlic - under no circumstances in the refrigerator
Almost everyone knows
that
garlic
does not belong in the refrigerator because it is too moist there.
With many other foods, however, the situation is not as clear as it is with the
aromatic plant
.
We reveal what belongs in the refrigerator and what doesn't.
