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.
