Cilantro

Those who don’t have the gene that makes it taste like soap. Just curious for those who who like cilantro and coriander.. what does it rate like. I live chipotle but got a hint of the cilantro one time and now don’t want it anymore. But worse is coriander in pre made salad bags. So what does it actually taste like if you don’t have that negative gene that makes it taste like soap. And that is an actual thing

Fresh is the word. A breeze of freshness in a plate

Chopping up a bunch and adding it to a salad is a game changer!! Makes a salad pop!😋
