I routinely add 1 tsp of sugar to all 2 cps of vegetables when I cook them. It
not only takes care of any bittereness but also seems to 'freshen' the
vegetable somewhat giving it a closer taste to just picked.

Although sugar is used in a lot of non-dessert type period recipes, it's use
was as a seasoning, IMO. I find that the addition of sugar in a lot of those
recipes, if constrained by the 1 tsp sugar per 2 cps main ingredient idea does
improve the flavor considerably without imparting any real noticeble sweetness
to the dish.
