How to Fix a Bitter Aftertaste in Pine Nuts
- 1). Take activated charcoal tablets to detoxify your system. Swallow 500 to 1040 milligrams of activated charcoal tablets with one glass of water twice daily, until the bitter taste subsides. There is a possibility that the pine nuts may have oxidized, turn rancid and tasted bitter as result. Detoxifying your system with the activated charcoal tablets will help you to overcome the oxidative effects of the pine nuts and resultant bitter aftertaste.
- 2). Drink aloe vera juice to speed up detoxification and alleviate the bitter aftertaste. Use the daily recommended dose mentioned on the bottle as a guideline. Aloe vera juice also helps overcome abdominal cramps, another reported symptom of "pine mouth."
- 3). Monitor the foods that you consume for signs of relief. For instance, observe whether the bitter aftertaste worsens when you drink a cup of coffee or eat an ice cream. If you experience relief upon consuming a particular type of food, stick to it, and forego the foods that aggravate the bitter aftertaste.
