Why Do I Hate Mint
Welcome to this post about why you might hate mint. The simple reason really is that the taste of mint is one that you either love or hate for the most part. It’s a very distinct flavor that can be hard to start to love.
In this article we will dive a bit deeper into why you might not like mint. Spoiler alert, there is nothing wrong with not liking mint. Just like some people don’t like cilantro or what not either.
Why Do I Hate Mint
Just like people not liking either coffee or cilantro, the same goes for mint. The flavor can be very off-putting for some people. It really just comes down to the palate that you have.
Every palate is different and what people like can differ a lot between different people. We know a lot of people that can’t have cilantro, it just tastes like soap to them. But for us we love it on basically everything.
Same goes with mint, the slightly cooling and sweet flavor and feel when eating it can make it unpleasant for some. But if you really want to start to learn to like mint, just like with coffee, then it can be done. The best route to take is just to start eating more and more things with mint. Such as chocolate or salads or even some desserts.
Some people can even think mint tastes bitter. This is not as uncommon as you might think. Here we dive a bit deeper into this, Why Does Mint Taste Bitter.
What Do You Do If You Don’t Like Mint
The thing you can do if you don’t like mint is to just stop eating it. It can usually be avoided very easily. Often then not, whatever product that contains mint will have it displayed widely. Since it’s a very special flavor, marketing this is very often done.
If you instead want to start to learn to like mint, just like we all did with coffee. It might actually be rare to find people that instantly liked mint from the start. Instead it can be clumped together with other flavors that are needed to learn to like.
