It's expected if you were eating the same food everyday, non-stop.. Maybe you've built tolerance to its toxins.
But after a while, if you enjoyed it, the craving might come back.
The bitter taste might be the reason why it's healthful raw and in small amounts: for its antibiotic properties. Very commercial, conventional produce lack this bitter taste more and more often.
