Since I went out today, I also bought some garlic chips to munch from time to time. The main benefit of this is to help decrease blood pressure for hypertensive people, which I am right now. But then, you need to brush your teeth after having them in your system. You know what I mean about the after-taste thing and the odor itself.
Have you tried to eat this kind of snack?

Garlic has various health benefits but definitely a repelling smell. Is it garlic slices made into chips or garlic added to regular chips?

I want it but I don't like the effect after. I don't like the garlic smell from me.

Ok. Once, my friend mucrowaved a whole garlic and began to peel & eat it. As I was staring at her, she gave me a clove. I peeled and ate it. Almost no taste, but gushy.

@DocAndersen I do love eating potato chips and the like but need to lessen them, too. It is not good to have a huge amount of sodium in the body.

I've put garlic chips in viands as toppings but never had it for a snack. Why don't you try eating fresh garlic instead? No need to chew, just swallow it.

Yes such chips would be good in taste as well, healthier and could also help achieve the Covid guideline of social distancing!!

Are they like pickles, or in oil, or crispy fried. Yes, if you eat a lot of garlic the odor stays with you, but it does help with many health problems.
