Cilantro - Why can you only love or hate the herb?

Whether in the garden, at the Smoby garden house or on the windowsill - with the “Eden” planter box from Smoby Toys you always have fresh herbs.

How about cilantro?

Few herbs divide people as much as cilantro. In Asian cuisine, it is a natural part - and it spoils the appetite for some people, as they find the taste disgusting.

One reason could be a gene: It has two variants. One of them reacts more strongly to aldehydes, which are also found in soap. If one inherits this variant, it could be the reason for the cilantro hatred. #cilantrogene

According to another study, culture is more important: In countries where a lot of cilantro is used in cooking, there are fewer people who hate cilantro.

That's why it is also believed that one can get used to the taste of cilantro if eaten often enough.
