You've heard it before. There is a chef in Italy trying to eliminate the [pungent staple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasted-garlic-oil) off the ingredient list. Gosh, and I thought that [Spaghetti Bolognaise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomato-free-pasta-sauces) "needed" garlic. Critics say the bulbous herb stinks and overwhelms more delicate flavors. Garlic aficionados say it enhances every dish it touches. Chef Filippo La Mantia says that garlic is a left over from when the Italians were poor. His action sparked a anti-garlic movement and ex prime minister Berlusconi is a fan. I still love the garlic though... ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Garlic Substitute Restaurants:** A trend that offers flavorful alternatives to garlic in restaurant dishes - **Bad Breath Solutions:** A trend that focuses on combating bad breath through diet and dental hygiene - **Ingredient-free Restaurants:** A trend that eliminates particular ingredients in dishes to cater to customer preferences or dietary restrictions ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Industry can innovate by providing unique options in dishes where garlic is replaced with flavorful alternatives or eliminated completely. - **Dental Care:** Industry can innovate by introducing products that combat bad breath in individuals who consume garlic regularly. - **Hospitality:** Industry can innovate by featuring garlic-free and ingredient-free options in hotel dining, conferences, and meetings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extra Garlicky Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-lover-pizza.md) - [Squeezable Garlic Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-spread.md) - [Garlic Romance Novels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlicinfused-romance-novel.md) - [White Garlic Sauce Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-garlic-combo-pizza.md) - [Sensitive Marinara Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensitive-marinara.md) - [Garlic-Infused Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlicinfused-olive-oil.md) - [Creamy Umami Cheese Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boursin-rosemary-black-garlic.md) - [Versatile Hybrid Veggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-garleek.md) - [Functional Garlic Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abg.md)
