CILANTRO
Love it or hate it? The reason is probably genetic! There is a gene responsible for how the brain perceives the taste of cilantro. For some it’s a pleasant lemony flavor and for others it has a soapy smell and taste. If you are a ‘soap taster’ try crushing the leaves as this creates a milder flavor.
