Top ten cauliflowers and broccoli producers—2012 : data on India ?

In India, broccoli is rare. It is not part of the culture. I have rarely seen boroccoli in the markets here in India. I am surprised to see India as second largest producer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vwalvekar (talk • contribs) 03:27, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

The data are for broccoli and cauliflower combined. India does not produce much broccoli, but cauliflowers is an important crop. Phytism (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Should this be a part of the wikiproject medicine?

Broccoli's health benefits are well-known and hence I move that we include it as part of wikiproject medicine. If you agree with me I will gladly add the

template to the start of this talk page. Fuse809 (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Most fruits and vegetables have well-known health benefits, and are therefore an essential part of a good diet. Broccoli is not exceptional in that regard, so adding broccoli to Wikiproject Medicine on the basis of having health benefits seems insufficient justification. There are some efforts to use particular compounds in broccoli for medical purposes, and those efforts might be a fit. Phytism (talk) 00:09, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Why broccoli tastes bitter to some people

I understand that recent research has discovered that variations on a gene called TAS2R38 could explain why some people turn their noses up at the taste to broccoli. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/11/brocoli-taste-obama-bush_n_3575686.html (and many similar reports.) I suggest adding a mention to this research in the article. Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

This is the original research report but the status of understanding the importance alone of the TAS2R38 gene for perceiving bitter tastes seems preliminary. Other factors, such as isothiocyanates and/or polyphenols, are also likely involved in bitterness perception. The WP discussion on bitter tastes offers other insights. Lbeaumont, you can make this edit. Kind regards --Zefr (talk) 17:43, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
