Bye bye, bad breath!

You know that I tend to use a lot of onions, garlic, cumin, and other food items with strong flavors in my cooking. Well, I received a sample bottle of Monjay, which is a yeast product formulated to prevent the odors from these foods from coming back to haunt you later! Monjay is only available on Bon Mangé’s website for now. Hopefully later it will become available in various retail and grocery stores, because it really does work. Mike and I both tested it during the ingestion of some heavily laden garlic mashed potatoes, and the usual morning-after “fragrance” was noticeably absent!

From the website:

Monjay is a patented breakthrough product which prevents the formation of socially embarrassing and personally discomforting substances. The user can be assured that the titillating aromas and tastes associated with foods containing garlic and onions will not come back in the form of offensive breath, aftertaste, and body odor. Monjay also breaks down the complex sugars found in many vegetables before they can be converted to the gases which cause digestive discomfort.
Monjay works best when used at the table along with an offending food. Generally one to two 0.45 gram portions (1/8 teaspoon), sprinkled on food cool enough to eat is sufficient to prevent the after effects of eating moderate to large amounts of offending vegetables. Less may be required for small amounts and more for very large amounts and in situations where courses containing offending foods are consumed over long periods of time. Personal experience will ultimately be the best measure of sufficiency. The cap on the Monjay bottle can be used to measure out portions as there are two black marks indicating one and two portion amounts on the inside of each cap.
