It's not entirely accurate. I used to hate cilantro (tried it first as an adult), as it does smell kind of soapy, but it grew on me. It's part of the taste for something like a thai curry. I recently planted one and thought it smelled great when I was watering it, soapy or not.
Basil can also smell a bit like cat pee, but it's still great on some things.
- groestl 2y agoWhoever says it tastes "kinda soapy" is likely do not have that gene variant in the first place. Because if you have it, it tastes like soap, full stop. Like you bite into a soap bar. Even a tiny bit of cilantro.
- Aerroon 2y agoYeah, but soap doesn't taste that bad either. Or maybe I've just gotten so used to awful taste that I can ignore. It's just bitter*. * I'm not sure if bitter is the correct word. In my native language we use the word "bitter" for things like beer, but there's another word for the sharper taste of soap, but they both seem to be translate to "bitter" in English. Maybe acrid is a better word?
- locallost 2y agoI've never bitten into a bar of soap so I can't say.
- Auracle 2y agoI don’t even like to be in the same room as a decent amount of cilantro.
