For some people, coriander tastes like soap! It’s linked to a genetic variant in the OR6A2 olfactory receptor gene.

So who here enjoys it and who only tastes soap?!

For me coriander seeds are "tainted with soap" rather than the leaves' "pure soap" 😂

Seems ok in a mix of spices for me, the leaves though are soap mixed with dirt 🤢

Several, I like KFC, I thought bulk buying would save a few quid. In the end it would have been cheaper n tastier to visit the restaurant 😂

It has to be mixed with other herbs but it is certainly up there with the better tasting herbs

I'd say #3 after basil and rosemary

I genuinely didn't know that, nor have I ever met someone who said for them it tastes like soap. The forums do sometimes fascinate me in the best way. Thanks o.p

I can tolerate it but I find the taste musty and slightly unpleasant. I'm not one of the soapies though.
