If cilantro tastes fresh to your friend but tastes like SOAP to you
you are not being dramatic. You might be smelling a different reality.
A lot of taste is actually smell, your brain mixes them together.
Cilantro contains natural compounds called aldehydes. Some people have gene variants that make them extra
sensitive to those aldehydes. One gene often linked is an odor receptor called
OR6A2. If your receptors scream soap! your brain trusts them.
But it is not only genes, culture and repeated exposure can shape liking too.
Fun twist, crushing cilantro releases more aroma which can make the soap signal stronger.
