Use in dressings or dipsOddly though, for 4 – 14% of the population, cilantro can leave a soapy after-taste when digested as an herb in cooking. Which is why some people say they actually hate using cilantro in cooking at all. It turns out that how cilantro tastes can have a lot to do with your genes. Recent scientific studies have determined that those who hate cilantro actually share a group of genes called olfactory-receptors, OR6A2, and these seem to absorb the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Turns out that these particular chemicals are both found in cilantro and soap. So just hope that you are not one of those unlucky folks who can’t take advantage of this powerful and common herb.
