I’ve been trying to get more veggies, for a multitude of reasons, but no matter how I cook broccoli, it stinks up the whole house. Steamed, baked, pan fried. If it were just me I’d probably deal with it, but my partner has a sensitive nose. Any ideas? I don’t love it raw, but it’s still pretty good.
I wonder if it’s similar to those that think cilantro tastes like soap.
Was thinking the same
It’s different. You posted elsewhere that broccoli had sulfurophane compounds which contribute to the smell. Sulfur is pretty universally stinky. It’s in the rotten egg smell, skunks, and fireworks. So if sulfur is involved, it will likely have a strong odor. Cilantro is a genetic issue. There’s a gene on the 11th chromosome that allows a small percentage of people to taste the aldehyde components of the plant giving it a soap-like taste to those people.
