Preparations
Cook it up
Worldwide, garlic is one of the most commonly used cooking ingredients. Baked, fried, boiled, or steamed, it enhances meat, vegetables, pasta, and, of course, bread. There is nothing quite like fresh, oven-toasted bread topped with finely-minced garlic in butter or oil. How wonderful to know that such soul-satisfying food can actually be good for you!
Eat it raw
Raw garlic—crushed—supplies the most allicin (cooking destroys it). Use fresh, peeled garlic cloves generously whenever possible in salads, fresh-made juices and salad dressings, and as a flavorful topping for baked potatoes.
Gastric Distress
Some people may not easily digest raw garlic. If this is true for you, cut back a little. If that doesn’t work, you may have to get your allicin from capsules or tablets. There are many varieties on the market: Kwai™, Garlicin™ and Kyolic™ to name a few. The tablets do not give you the garlic breath odor that raw garlic does, so many people prefer to use tablets for convenience when working or traveling.
How to Stop Garlic Breath
Of course, you can’t talk about garlic without discussing its unfortunate side effect: bad breath. One easy solution is parsley. Parsley is one of the most potent odor neutralizers in the plant kingdom. It should do the trick, though it’s always wise to ask a friend or loved one if it has worked . . . unless, of course, you’ve both just shared the same meal!
If parsley doesn’t neutralize your breath, you may have to switch to garlic tablets when in public.
