George H.W Bush, the former president of the United States, has publicly declared broccoli as his favorite dish. Despite its bitterness, this cabbage plant is a member of the Brassica genus, which produces thiocyanate compounds that contain nitrogen and sulfur, leading to its distinctive taste. Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to avoid eating cabbage plants due to their sensitivity to bitterness, which can be determined by the taste receptor gene tas2r38. However, others may find that incorporating herbs and grated cheese into recipes can mitigate the bitterness and make broccoli more palatable. Experimenting with different ways to prepare and enjoy broccoli can lead to a newfound appreciation for this nutritious vegetable, as suggested by Mari Sandell, a professor of sensory food research at the University of Helsinki.
