It's not that. Broccoli has a strong taste to it that lots of people don't like and this isn't magically created by boiling it for too long or whatever other just-so story you fell for. I don't know why you smooth brainers are so determined to ignore this really straightforward and obvious truth here. Modern crop breeders go out of their way to systematically identify and eliminate the chemical compounds responsible for the generally offensive bitter taste everyone knows is an issue with these different kinds of stereotypically hated green vegetables so it's ridiculous to keep pretending the problem was cooking.

>These mechanisms appear to decrease nutrient absorption, therefore, decreasing metabolizable energy.
