Oooooo I owe a lot to Hans van Doorn… I hated brussel sprouts so much when I was a child, I thought it was because I always had them boiled. So modern ones are yummier than they used to.
By the heroic efforts of a Dutch scientist that was sick of people hating brussel sprouts…well… That’s my headcannon anyway.
In the 1990s, Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn identified the chemicals that make Brussels sprouts bitter: sinigrin and progoitrin.[11] This enabled Dutch seed companies to cross-breed archived low-bitterness varieties with modern high-yield varieties, over time producing a significant increase in the popularity of the vegetable.[12]
