They should never have been consumed bitter. When they are frozen the bitter substance is destroyed. In former times this implied being harvested only after the first night frosts in autumn, never before. Nowadays there might be some more artificial ways to achieve the same result more reliable. (Perhaps by breeding, too, I'm not sure about this part.)

Taste changes with age, too. The younger, the sweeter and the older, the bitterer people prefer.
