For those who claim cilantro tastes like soap, I’m curious—how did you come to that conclusion?
That’s a great question! The perception that cilantro tastes like soap is linked to genetics. Some people have a specific gene called OR6A2 that makes them more sensitive to certain chemical compounds in cilantro, specifically aldehyde chemicals that are also found in soap. So, for those who experience that soapy taste, it’s not just a preference—it’s a biological response! It’s definitely interesting how our genes can influence our taste perceptions.
