Coriander (/ˌkɒriˈændər, ˈkɒriændər/; Coriandrum sativum), also known as cilantro (/sɪˈlæntroʊ, -ˈlɑːn-/),: 90 is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.
Most people perceive coriander as having a tart, lemon/lime taste, but some individuals perceive the leaves to have a soapy, pungent, or rotten taste. The perception of a soapy taste in certain aldehydes is linked to variations in the gene OR6A2
