Bitterness can be a pleasant flavor that adds zest to a dish.

However, if the bitterness in cooked food has turned into real bitterness, the situation needs to be corrected.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you what to do in such a situation.

How to get rid of bitterness

The first ingredient that will come to the rescue in this case is fatty foods. By adding a little milk, cream, cheese or olive oil to the prepared dish, you will completely get rid of the unpleasant taste.

Salt and baking soda also remove bitterness. However, in the case of both products, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the dish will be oversalted or instead of bitterness, a distinct taste of soda will appear.

Sour tastes, such as lemon and vinegar, also neutralize bitterness. Just squeeze a little juice out of the fruit or add a spoonful of vinegar.

If we are talking about coffee or another drink, then adding sugar is an excellent option to soften the bitterness.
