    The bitterness of green vegetables in winter is normal. Green vegetables contain glucosinolates. These substances are usually bitter. When the climate is warm, glucosinolates in green vegetables are synthesized. These substances often have a bitter taste, so Green vegetables will feel bitter when they are eaten; the arrival of frost will delay the synthesis of glucosinolates in green vegetables.
