We make no secret of our love for garlic. The strong taste makes us dream of Italy for a moment. Especially if you use the flavor enhancer in this delicious burrata pasta recipe. But why is it that you almost never suffer from such smelly breath on holiday in this southern European country, but at home you do? Because you are really using the garlic clove in the wrong way.

In any case, do not use a garlic press

Do you always use a garlic press to crush a clove of garlic? Then you really don’t want to do that anymore. From now on we will ban all presses, because this everyday device is responsible for that horrible sharp taste in your mouth that you can’t possibly get rid of.

It may be nice and quick to chop your toe in the press, but it is not good for the taste of the dish. Because you crush the garlic clove, the taste becomes much sharper. Chef Anthony Bourdain once said, “I don’t know what the crap coming out of those things is, but it’s not garlic.” Correct. And culinary journalist Elizabeth David is also not happy with the garlic press. ‘Squeezing the juice of garlic does not reduce its potency, but concentrates it and enhances its scent.’

Chemical reaction causes garlic breath

Let’s dive into the theory, because why is it so bad to press your garlic? It’s like this: garlic (just like onion) belongs to the alliums, a garlic family. These plants store fructose (sugar) in their leaves. This is also the reason why garlic becomes nice and sweet when you roast it.

But when you squeeze it, the plant feels attacked and releases a chemical that causes the sharp taste. But don’t worry, this substance is not harmful, reports say Delicious Magazine. This also explains why our eyes start to water when we cut an onion!

This way you won’t suffer from garlic breath

When you cut or press garlic you suffer from garlic breath, but what is the best way to use garlic in your dish? By crushing a garlic clove! Italians have been using this trick for years and when they do it, you know it’s done right. Crush the toe with the flat side of your knife and add it to the pan. Also nice: by crushing the garlic, it burns less quickly, so you no longer get a bitter taste in your dish.

Are you in a hurry and do you secretly use the garlic press? Then nibble on a piece of raw apple to get rid of the taste as quickly as possible. And now let’s go back into the kitchen.
