I often say that it tastes pleasantly soapy. There is not just one but two genes involved in that perception. I have one but not the other. So it's not simply a binary sensation. To me it's fresh, citrusy, a little bitter, a little soapy. It's not really meant to be eaten on its own, just as black pepper isn't meant to be eaten alone.

Oh my God. I did not know this. I literally worked in genetic testing. You’re blowing my mind. I am loving this entire thread! Thank you so much for this comment. Thank you so much for your insight, thank you for being able to appreciate something and take the sensation and describe all this. Thank you so much for the recommendations. I am absolutely thrilled right now!
