There's a similar gene for grapefruit. My parents love grapefruit. But to me it tastes like the devil. Love grapefruit candy and soda though.

You just don't know the grapefruit technique yet.

How do you not know how recessive genes work?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

1: It's called a joke.

2: Once you take an actual genetics class you'll know it's often far more complicated that.

3: What makes you think the gene is recessive? Because OR6A2, the cilantro gene, is actually "dominant," though other factors can suppress its expression in this matter. See point #2. Who knows what this theoretical grapefruit gene is...

Isn't it just that they grew up eating that?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

You would think the parents that love it would feed it to their kid, but kids are weird about food so maybe OP didn't eat anything but bananas and peanut butter.

I grew up eating it too. I thought maybe I didn't like the ones from our tree, but I got one from the supermarket once and it was the same flavor. I understand grapefruit is supposed to be fairly bitter but to me it tastes more like bile.
