Why you don't like coriander
Coriander: some people love it, others can’t stand the sight, taste or smell of it. And we haven’t even started on the people who call it ‘cilantro’ yet …
Why is coriander such a polarising herb?
Turns out, your genetics may play a part in it.
Genetic testing company 23andMe surveyed 50,000 people about whether or not they liked the taste of coriander.
The results revealed that people with ‘OR6A2 receptors’, which occur in those with European ancestry, felt that coriander tasted ‘soapy’.
"Cilantro’s aromatic qualities primarily depend on a group of compounds known as aldehydes," states the report. "One type of aldehyde has been described as being 'fruity' and 'green' and another type as being 'soapy' and 'pungent'. One of the eight genes near the SNP we identified codes for a receptor called OR6A2, which is known to detect aldehydes such as those found in cilantro."
The study also found that, if your family weren’t big on coriander, you wouldn’t be so keen on the herb either.
