Post Asparagus Wee Wee
October 13th 2006 13:10
I listened in disbelief when I was told that post asparagus wee smells like rotten cabbage. “Not mine,” I said. But I looked into it and it turns out maybe I just can’t smell it.
If your urine smells funny after you eat asparagus, you’re part of the 40% of people who deal with asparagusic acid in a way that produces sulphuric chemicals, and you have the ability to detect it.
Some of us lack the sensory devices to detect the odour, myself included it seems. Looks like I’m going to need a volunteer to cook me some asparagus - I like it served with a drizzle of olive oil with a dusting of parmesan by the way - and have a sniff. Any takers?
By the way, during this little project I also found out that white asparagus is cultivated by growing the plants in the dark; asparagus has more folic acid than any other vegetable; beetroot can make your wee turn bright red; vitamin tablets make it highlighter yellow and marshmallow actually makes it smell really good. But I might have made up some of that.
