But wouldn’t that change the flavor? You wouldn’t get the authentic experience that way.

My chemistry prof would repeat over and over that "bitter is poison". Bitter is one of my favorite flavor types, after spicy. If I lived before the internet I totally would have died after eating a tasty salad of poison xD

Dose makes the poison. Most bitter flavors (that you eat) aren't really meant to discourage you from eating them, it's really meant for insects.

Plant: I will make an unappetizing flavor to prevent myself from getting eaten

Humans: finally, some good fucking food

And that's how allium and cabbage conquered the world
