I think the sprouts trauma is the result of picking the wrong cooking method.

I was so surprised when I tried baked sprouts for the first time (use a really host cast iron skilet for even better results) that I started to believe that every vegetable can be delicious as long as you bake it!

There’s many delicious and easy ways to eat vegetable! Two of my favorite:

- Belgian Stoemp: basically smashed-potatoes with smashed-other legumes. Cook everything together (with herbs if you can), smash, add lipid and salt and you’re done!

- German Ein Topf: put vegetables, beans and sausages in a pot (I use tofu ones or tempeh). Cover, cook slowly. It’s almost a salty Tajin from the north.

- Recover bland vegetables (sprouts or anything) to a fantastic soup in 5 minutes: add a bit of water, coconut cream (or caw cream / silken tofu…), spices. A bit of tahin and corail lentils if you have. Mix and adjust water.

Bon appétit :)

The modern cultivars literally taste different, it's not just cooking method. The bitter compounds were identified and bred out.

I wish I could find "authentic" sprouts in supermarkets. I'm sure there's a niche for it.

How long ago did this happen?

1990s research at Novartis, not sure how quickly the new cultivars were adopted,.maybe someone else can chime in

Did they get the sulfurous compounds out as well?

Baking is good, but I also came to another conclusion - vegetables that are disgusting if they are cooked to a slimy paste, can be delicious eaten raw in a salad!

Broccoli!

Raw broccoli in a salad will get you tossed out of the country I was born in :-)

Now the true surprise with broccoli for me was learning that you can dice the stems and butter-roast them, then use them in pretty much anything from rice dishes to pies. Amazing
