Be honest here.. does anyone actually enjoy eating Broccoli ?

Yes — a lot of people genuinely enjoy broccoli. But it usually depends on how it’s cooked.

Why some people love it 🥦

• When roasted with olive oil and salt, it gets crispy edges and nutty flavor.
• When sautéed with garlic and lemon, it’s bright and savory.
• In stir-fries, it absorbs sauces really well.
• In cheesy dishes (like broccoli cheddar soup), it’s comfort food.

Why some people hate it

• It’s often overboiled — which makes it mushy and sulfur-smelling.
• Some people are genetically more sensitive to bitter compounds in vegetables (like compounds also found in cabbage and Brussels sprouts).

The honest truth

Plain steamed broccoli with no seasoning?
Yeah… that’s a tough sell for many people.

Crispy roasted broccoli with Parmesan and chili flakes?
Whole different story.

If you tell me how you’ve had it before, I can suggest a version that might actually change your mind 😄
