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