Not eating coriander is the last stubbornness of many adults

The relationship between adults may start to change with a handful of coriander.

“Do you eat cilantro?”

If you want to continue the friendly chat, should you answer "yes" or "no"? ? ?

After all, for the anti-cilantro party, cilantro = stink bugs, soapy water, earthy smell...

Eat coriander? Maybe in the next life~

But for true fans, there is no soul without coriander.

Whether we can have a pleasant meal together depends on this little bit of coriander.

How much can people hate cilantro?

I have a friend who even makes a note when ordering milk tea: "No cilantro, thank you"!

There is even an "Anti-Coriander Alliance" abroad

The American Chemical Society mentioned in a short film that approximately 4 to 14% of people around the world hate the taste of coriander.

However, it’s not because they are picky or pretentious, but it’s natural.

Coriander, also known as cilantro (yán sui), is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe.

The special smell is because it contains unsaturated aldehydes, which are similar to the secretions of some bed bugs, so the Greek name of coriander is bed bug.

So, people who like coriander also like stinky toadstools?

No, they might like (Hanazawa) Kana.

But she got married a few days ago, so don't think about it~

This taste is acceptable to most people, but there is a group of people whose genes determine that they don't like it.

On human chromosome 11, there is an olfactory receptor gene "OR6A2".

This gene is sensitive to aldehydes. If it mutates, the soapy smell of coriander will be more prominent, and people will have an instinctive resistance to it.

The inheritance rate of this mutation is extremely low. If you are the only one in your family who doesn't like coriander, there is no need to worry about whether you are a biological child.

Another situation is the influence of eating habits.

A 2012 study found that East Asians are more likely to dislike coriander, while in the Middle East, where coriander originated, only 3% of people hate coriander.

Some people are destined to never have the opportunity to eat coriander from birth, and even if they eat it when they grow up, they will not be used to it.

While there are plenty of scientific explanations for why people don't like cilantro, our research found that there are occasional defectors among the anti-cilantro party.

Some people love their girlfriends because they like to eat coriander.

Some people move to a place where people love to eat coriander and follow the local customs;

Some people's sense of taste and smell begin to deteriorate as they age, and they can no longer feel...

Science can explain genetic mutations, but what really makes people accept and integrate with each other is often survival and love.

Whether it is due to emotional ties, environmental influences, or various other reasons, every change is a wonderful experience for human beings.

If someone around you suddenly starts eating coriander, cherish them. They have come to you overcoming the innate obstacles.
