Hey. If you're going to eat raw cloves, should you chew them or swallow them like a pill if they're small enough?

Its like beans, if you don't chew it good you gonna be farting all night

Have you ever kept a garlic clove in your mouth and chewed it slowly? It can become unbearable depending on the strength of the garlic. You should try it if you haven't.

If I had to eat a lot of cloves (why?), I'd cut them into swallowable sizes and swallow them with minimal chewing.

I chewed the last one I ate and it burnt the fuck out of my tongue for a second. Had to drink a bit of water actually. I was just wondering if it would still benefit a person to swallow it whole if the clove was small enough to do so.

You're basically asking if the human body can digest things that are swallowed whole.

The answer is yes.

If you liked garlic, you're not gonna anymore. I ate an entire clove of elephant garlic once and let me tell you, that shit'll make you repulsed by garlic. I got the flu from a single damned clove

Don't do it OP

eating raw garlic anyway but minced heavily in a dressing is disgusting and overpowering, even roasting a whole bulb and having a little can be too much.

I opt to put raw garlic in hummus or tzatziki. Not a huge fan of eating it all by itself. Also just mashed with olive oil on bread is good.

I ate mine with pares an cheese to make it bearable. You're not gonna get laid for a while longer

I eat raw garlic like i do hot peppers: just take a nibble in between bites of your meal.

If you mince it up and add it to your meal, there's a chance you may have added too much, and your dish is ruined.

Yeah but chewing serves a purpose besides avoiding choking, and partially digested plant matter in the colon leads to some ass ripping farts
