Coriander is part of Thai cuisine as drizzling rain in England. But just like that rain, not everyone likes coriander. This herb, which tastes similar to parsley, but more intense and somewhat lemony, is the seasoning in many Thai dishes.

According to a study published in Nature, the OR6A2 gene in our DNA determines, yes people, whether we like coriander or taste like soap. It's a minority, so mankind is not in danger.

Coriander is best used fresh. Just whole or chopped, in or on a dish. You can use both the leaf and the stem. And as an alternative, you can always choose parsley.
