Eating Raw Garlic: The Wrong Way
Chew information technology upwards and eat information technology:I've seen this recommended SO many times, and I tin only presume that there are people who actually accept stainless steel mouths. <flashback to the 007 villian!>Garlic is a HOT little number, and chewing it volition coat your oral fissure in the sulfuric flames from you know where. If you are of the teflon coated variety, then more ability to you. But this does *not* work for me. <P-tooey!>
Swallowing a whole clove: This is not so uncommon…information technology sounds similar a more pleasant way of getting all of the good dominance of raw garlic without the unpleasant side effects of chewing it. But don't practice information technology! Last year, at least 2 people that I know personally tried this and one ended in the heimlich maneuver and the other with an ER trip. Why?

The BEST Ways to Eat Raw Garlic
Garlic Pills: Simply chop a clove up into small pill sized shapes, and swallow with a drink of your choice. I usually only do one-half a clove at a time. Since raw garlic can exist a fiddling tough on the stomach, I use a smaller corporeality and piece of work up if needed.
Tip: Choosing a potable with fatty in information technology will assistance blunt the flavour. A thick smoothie, milk shake, or kefir consistency makes it a lot easier to get pills downwardly.
Garlic Crush: And then, technically, this isn't eating garlic, but it'southward been very, very effective for throat/ear/mouth type infections here. Basically, you place a whole uncut clove between your back molars (it can fifty-fifty exist a small clove) and gently press down *just* enough to bruise or cleft it a bit. Yous *don't* have to chew it at all. The crushing action begins the production of allicin, the potent anti-microbial component of garlic. You lot do go a slight flavor, just it's non nearly as bad every bit chewing a clove, since the juices are basically going down the side of the throat equally you eat, and not coating your natural language. I hold information technology at that place for about a minute, then spit information technology out. Information technology'southward toast. And speaking of toast…this is our favorite way:
Fresh Garlic Toast: Die your garlic up finely, and add to two teaspoons of melted butter or softened butter. Pour over or spread on toast. This idea came direct from my favorite Italian restaurant, who serves their super soft rolls drenched in melted butter with raw garlic. You lot may exist very surprised at how the butter mellows out the flavors of garlic, and it's SUPER yummy! Fifty-fifty my tender tongued kids honey this garlic remedy.
