    A lot of people who are super tasters find alliums like onions and garlic incredibly overpowering unless they are in really small amounts.

      I was thinking to myself that it can’t be that many people, but sure enough I was wrong and was surprised to learn the following from the Wikipedia article about super-tasters:

      “Research suggests 25% of the population are non-tasters, 50% are medium tasters, and 25% are supertasters.”

      Quite interesting and concise page, recommended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster
