So what is the most scientific way to eat garlic?

The health benefits of regular consumption of garlic are well known. These benefits are all due to a substance in garlic called allicin. Allicin has many functions. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with multiple biological functions such as anti-inflammation, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing cancer, and antiviral. It can also significantly improve the body's immunity.

However, eating garlic requires some care, and not just any way of eating it will allow the pharmacological effects of allicin to take effect. If you don't eat it scientifically and correctly, no matter how much garlic you eat, it will be useless. Because the production of allicin requires a certain process and some necessary conditions need to be created so that allicin can take effect and play a role beneficial to human health.

First of all, allicin originally exists in garlic in the form of alliin. After encountering oxygen, it is converted under the action of alliinase. Therefore, in order to make garlic produce allicin, when eating garlic, first, eat it raw. If you don’t have stomach discomfort, try to eat the garlic raw to prevent allicin from losing its pharmacological activity in a hot environment. The second is to mash or cut the garlic into thin slices and expose it to the air for 15 to 20 minutes before eating. The purpose is to allow the garlic to fully oxidize and react with allinase in an aerobic environment to produce allicin. You don't need to eat a lot every day, three or five cloves are enough.

The blanched food is dipped in the bowl of mashed garlic and sesame oil before being eaten, which is equivalent to using allicin to sterilize and disinfect. Northerners love eating garlic, especially when they eat dumplings, they like to use mashed garlic mixed with soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil as a condiment. This way of eating should be the most scientific and effective way to eat garlic.
