For those who are trying to listen to this recommendation. You also have to be aware that trying to get exposure to cilantro may make you very sick. I tried this myself and as a result,result I had all the symptoms of food poisoning for three months, I could not keep my food down in my stomach. And this was just because I added a leaf of cilantro twice in the space of two weeks and in the end, nobody questions peoples food preferences why would you torture yourself with something that makes you feel sick? Because for me this little experiment resulted in changing from pleasant smell of cilantro to now I have gag reflex every time I smell it. I’m not sure that that’s an improvement.

As an Indian, I think cilantro is the best ever garnish to ever exist in this world 😋

Good to know, but I don’t have a reason to keep exposing myself to it when I don’t know how good it is.

That explains it, I'm central American and I love Cilantro so much that when I am at the supermarket I can't help but take a fresh handful and INHALE IT like a weirdo, it makes me hungry immediately too, ❤.

I can attest - used to think it tasted like soap but it was in so much stuff i couldnt pick out I just ate it anyway and now it tastes great!

True, I used to think there was bleach in my food when I first ate cilantro. All good now.

Coriander does taste like soap, but there are ways to improve it, like the good doctor says. It certainly improved the taste of the Rogan Josh I made last night

I somehow developed this “glitch” which I didn’t think was possible. AND it only happens sometimes. It’s the weirdest thing. I just keep eating cilantro and ignore the random weird soapy bites.

When I was pregnant cilantro tasted like pure dirt to me- 12 years later I still avoid it, because the taste was beyond anything I could handle. Thinking of it makes me want to throw up.

This is a conversation with the wife. “No thank you sweetheart, as I’ve said for the past 35 years, I really really dislike coriander”, “Yes I have tried it and yes I still hate it, so no thank you “ This conversation happens at least once a month. PS the wife loves coriander.

It definitely used to taste like soap to me, but it doesnt anymore, and honestly, it didnt really take that long to get over. I kinda just embraced the soapiness, and it just went away

It surely can be overcome. 😊 I used to experience this with cilantro. I couldn't breathe. But wished I didn't have that experience because I am a good cook and love experiencing food from as many different cultures as possible. Both cooked by other people and cooking it myself. I love learning how other cultures traditionally cook their dishes, cooking with fire, tools and methods that we don't have to use with all our "privilege" and modern conveniences. Once I learned how to properly use spices and herbs, cooking them with fats instead of vinegars, wine, tomatoes, astringents etc, I was able to balance and draw out flavors better and I don't get that soapy flavor/smell suffocating experience anymore. The way scent accentuates taste, factors a lot into the soapy problem. I discovered what I REALLY don't enjoy AT ALL, is Cumin and tomato based dishes and I cannot stand store bought tomatoes. I do like fresh tomatoes from a garden that are red, juicy and meaty, but still don't like tomato based dishes. The tomatoes in the store are a pathetic excuse for tomatoes and it's sad that it's the norm now and how many folks don't really know what a tomato is supposed to taste like. And despite being a good cook and understanding how spices, fats, acids interact when cooking and knowing how to properly use them, I just do not like tomatoes or Cumin at all. I've tried. Cumin has an almost similar soapy taste/smell. It tastes/smells like a chemical to me.

I hated cilanto in the past. Had to hide it under a lot of other aromatic ingredients. Now I can eat snd enjoy it as is, just as much as I love parsley and other herbs. Making pico de gallo? I'll definitely be chewing on a branch of cilantro while doing so xD I also jave a friend, who was extremely picky with food until she decided to.challange herself to just try everything at least twice. Now she actually likes everything as far as I'm aware.

MEEEEE! Dang it! I’ve tried to explain this to so many people! Being of Hispanic ethnicity, it’s been a lifelong jab taken at myself 😂 and then marrying into a first generation family from Mexico, my mother in law truly thinks I’m just trying to be nice and turn down her cooking 😂🤦🏼♀️ I’m also one of the few who can smell DMSO and it’s HORRID

When I was in my teens, I used to have coriander and it always tasted like soap to me. Now, in my 30's I absolutely love it! It doesn't taste like soap to me anymore

I’m a Mexican American and I am so glad I can taste cilantro properly. The food I grew up with on my dad’s side was so good. I honestly feel bad for any Mexicans who are unlucky to have that gene.

Considering that I don't really know this anything with cilantro other than the texture of it which is just standard leaf texture I don't think that it sucks leaving cilantro off It doesn't really add anything for me.

I never understood why people say it tastes like soap, I've always loved the smell of fresh cilantro. But, one day when I was chopping some it hit me for just a few seconds. I smelled the plant and it smelled like soap, and then it went back to delicious cilantro smell. It was weird
