      I think there’s a study where they showed that there’s a collection of people who taste broccoli differently.

      For me, by itself, it is absolutely terrible. But put it in some melted cheese with some rice and I’m 100% game.

        Supertasters, some have an intense aversion to broccoli because of bitterness

            The cilantro thing is because of a specific gene variant (iirc), supertasting is a totally different gene, plus an increased number of taste buds (probably, the research is ongoing). So, they aren’t related, but someone may have both.
