According to my plant geneticist aunt, some people have a gene for tasting all crucifers as bitter. She still won’t touch broccoli in her 80s.
Unf. I LOVE broccoli and all crucifers. I ordered garlic broccoli tonight because of this. ^^;
cauliflower is just one bad decision away from a sulfer cloud... scariest of the Crucifers
What's interesting to me is that "bitter" vegetables from different families have different qualities of bitterness. I love Brussels sprouts and kale and all the other crucifers, but the earthy bitterness of Swiss chard or winter spinach needs a LOT of lemon.
I was confused because I was like, "radishes aren't in the Brassica genus" so I had to google and, ah, yes, they're still in Brassicacaea, and still considered crucifers I mean, I know you know your shit, but sometimes I have to remind myself these are all mustards
Yeah, I’ve also had tacos with squash as the main filling, like there’s precedent for it in the flavor space of burrito-adjacent Mexican dishes. But idk why you gotta bring crucifers into the picture when you can make an excellent and nutritionally complete veg burrito without going there.
USEPA finally bans DCPA (a very dangerous pesticide) from all agricultural uses. It had been banned in the E.U. for years. Crucifers were mostly contaminated by its use. Big deal for farm workers. Gift article. wapo.st/3AuK03O
The pesticide, known as DCPA, is known to harm fetuses and “needs to be removed from the market immediately,” an EPA official said.
Vance identifies with the crucifers rather than the crucified, the bullies rather than the bullied.
I can eat brassicas and crucifers, but they are so much better with a potato
I am amused that my preferred mustard-based coleslaw is crucifers dressed in crucifers.
