Seven Foods You Can Eat to Neutralize Garlic Breath
A strong smell of garlic in your mouth can ruin a date, even if you both have one. These foods, if eaten after a garlic dish, can save the day.
In this video from the channel SciShow on YouTube leading Michael Aranda explains stinking science underlying the main garlic weapons : allilmetilsulfida. Additionally, Aranda shares some tips on how to save dates from the incredible power of garlic. While researchers aren’t entirely sure why, these foods have shown some evidence to neutralize the odor of garlic:
- Parsley
- Apples
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Basil
- Citrus
- Milk
These foods may contain enzymes that help break down sulfur compounds, and the fat content of milk helps deodorize them . Of course, if you don’t have any of these foods and don’t have access to a toothbrush and paste, the best thing you can do is try to cover them up with chewing gum or mint.
