Cilantro **does** taste like soap and I like it, amirite?

It only tastes like soap for a certain percentage of people. For most it doesn't

Yeah, it's just a genetic thing - some people's taste buds are sensitive to the aldehydes. It's more common among East Asian people (20%).

That's so strange. I know for others it tastes like soap, yet I've never experienced such taste. Genetics or missing pallet, definitely looking this up now

What soap does it taste like? Dial?

For some people it does and that's the reason they don't like it. I can't say I get soap from "coriander" I'll use it's real name. But probably wouldn't like it if I did. Interestingly when I was younger I used to pick up a distinct soapy taste from blue cheese which put me off it. As an adult I can no longer distinguish that taste which is why it's a a staple of my diet now
