Tag: Non bitter greens

A 2024 survey showed that nearly 40% of people avoid certain leafy greens specifically because of their bitter taste. But for every bitter green like radicchio or mustard, there are many others with mild, sweet, and nutty flavor profiles that can transform your meals. This guide explores the most palatable leafy vegetables, helping you enjoy all the nutritional benefits without the strong, astringent flavor.

According to research, a person’s sensitivity to bitter taste varies genetically, which is why some find romaine unpleasantly bitter while others enjoy it. Fortunately, a wide variety of mild and sweet greens are available that provide a delicious alternative for those who prefer a less peppery or pungent salad base.
