Today’s episode doesn’t need a whole lot of explanation: I had asparagus one day and couldn’t help but wonder about a peculiar scent. If you eat asparagus, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
So I dove into the research and learned way more about asparagus than I ever thought I would 🙈
Asparagus has some unique compounds that when metabolized, produce ammonia and various sulfur-containing degradation products that are responsible for the distinctive smell.
And if you’ve ever had asparagus, you know exactly what I’m talking about!
It’s nothing new - this discovery dates back to 1891 but it wasn’t until 2010 that we finally got some answers as to why this happens only for some people.
