this is a simple theory that came to my mind after an English test where the text was rambling about how vegan diet is sooo healthy ( because .. IT JUST IS )
so why are some vegetables bitter or chilly , or have a hard or tough outer layers ? and we humans "love" to munch vegetables , ( kike propaganda )
you should eat 100g of fiber bro ( death tier lol )
my answer is the following :
The development of hard outer layers or bitter flavors in some vegetables can be seen as a defense mechanism against being eaten by animals. This is a form of adaptation that helps protect the plant's reproductive structures (seeds) and ensures its survival. There are several ways in which plants have evolved to deter animals from consuming them:
Physical Defenses: Some plants develop hard or tough outer layers, such as thick skins or spiky exteriors, which make it difficult for animals to access the edible parts. Examples include squash and certain gourds.
Chemical Defenses: Many plants produce chemical compounds that make them unpalatable, bitter, or even toxic to animals. These compounds can deter herbivores from eating the plant. For example, compounds like alkaloids, glycosides, and phenolics can impart bitterness or toxicity to certain vegetables.
Thorns and Prickles: Some plants have evolved physical deterrents such as thorns, prickles, or hairs, which discourage animals from feeding on them. These structures can cause discomfort or injury to animals attempting to eat the plant.
Unappetizing Smells or Tastes: Some plants emit strong odors or flavors that animals find unpleasant. This can discourage animals from consuming them. For example, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts contain sulfur compounds that contribute to their strong taste and odor.
