Nourishment Note

Cold Foods

Cold foods that aren’t cooked, such as salsa, smoothies, yogurt and fruit, are typically well-tolerated in patients experiencing altered taste.

Garlic & Onion

Spices and seasonings, such as garlic and onion, may help those who are experiencing bitter or metallic taste changes.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a nutrient that can help reduce the risk of heart disease and help with eye, skin, and hair health.
