Exceptionally concentrated flavour — the entire unique aromatic profile of fresh coriander (citrus, herbaceous, slightly soapy for some) condensed into a five-centimetre bite. Delicate, tender, fragile texture in the mouth. A member of the great Apiaceae family alongside fennel, dill, chervil, parsley, celery, carrot, anise and borage — it's the most fragrant of them all as a microgreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA notable genetic quirk: about 4-14% of the world population carries a variant of the olfactory gene \u003cem\u003eOR6A2\u003c\/em\u003e that makes them perceive coriander as having a soapy taste — a recent discovery in olfactory genetics that explains why this herb divides its eaters so sharply. If you love coriander, you understand; if you hate it, it's not in your head, it's in your genes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who love it, countless uses: as a finishing garnish on Mexican tacos, Vietnamese \u003cem\u003epho\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ebanh mi\u003c\/em\u003e, Indian curries, \u003cem\u003eguacamole\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003esalsa verde\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eceviche\u003c\/em\u003e, Thai dishes, Argentinian \u003cem\u003echimichurri\u003c\/em\u003e.
