Welcome to the DBD, a W4C community board where one can talk about pretty much anything.
Broccoli and its cruciferous cousins can produce an enzyme called S-methyl-cysteine-sulfoxide when plant tissues are damaged—a kind of defense mechanism. Past studies have shown that some people's saliva contains high levels of a particular bacteria that can produce these sulfuric enzymes, which can affect how people experience the flavors of cruciferous vegetables, among other foods. Do you find broccoli too bitter?
