Cilantro

A divisive herb

Coriander (/ˌkɒriˈændər, ˈkɒriændər/; Coriandrum sativum) is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. It is also known as dhania or cilantro (/sɪˈlæntroʊ, -ˈlɑːn-/). All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds (which are both a herb and a spice) are the parts most traditionally used in cooking. Most people perceive coriander as having a tart, lemon/lime taste 🍋, but to nearly a quarter of those surveyed, the leaves taste like dish soap 🧼, linked to a gene that detects some specific aldehydes that can produce soapy sensation from the odorant substances. One suspect for this genetic varation is the olfactory receptor gene OR6A2 🧬. Different demographics are more or less affected by the "soapy taste"-gene; Europeans are more likely to experience an unpleasant taste than people of Latin-American ancestry, for example. What about you?
