Allicin, a typical ingredient in garlic, is most effective in its raw state.
  Therefore, this time, we will introduce how to eat raw garlic and precautions for raw garlic.

□ How to eat raw garlic

Some people may be reluctant to eat garlic raw.
For such people, we recommend grated garlic.
Garlic is often used in cooking like a seasoning, but it can be eaten raw even when grated.

It is also recommended to eat with meat and raw fish.

The reason why garlic is said to be so healthy is that the allicin contained in garlic has a strong bactericidal effect, which increases the possibility of preventing possible food poisoning when eating raw food.

That’s why horse sashimi, which is often eaten in Kyushu, comes with grated garlic.

□ Precautions for raw garlic

The cause of the garlic odor is allicin, a typical ingredient that is considered effective for health.

And when this allicin is inside the garlic, it is called alliin, and it becomes a component called allicin by touching the air.

Since grated garlic is quite exposed to the air, the smell will be stronger.

When you eat raw garlic, make sure that you do n’t have any plans for the day, and that the next day you may smell, so it ’s a good idea to eat food and drink that are effective in removing odorous ingredients.

・ Do not eat too much

Garlic ingredients have a very strong action.
That’s why you can expect fatigue recovery and a strong bactericidal effect, but overeating is not good.

If grated, a small amount is better.
Depending on your constitution, eating more than this may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and headaches.
