      if it's fresh and in reasonable quantity, then yes. But every now and then i find it to be offputting and overwhelming. sometimes one sprig can taint a dish too much, but I'll still eat it. I'm not allergic to the degree that one leaf can ruin a dish.

    • @alexanderfo3886
      @alexanderfo3886 4 роки тому

      I think the issue is that it has a very strong and characteristic smell. In large quantities, this can be overwhelming and therefore seem "soapy". That being said, it can also be true for many spices like anis, lemongrass and ginger. Those who complain about it are mostly people who generally don't like their spices and have easily overwhelmed taste nerves.
      I'm not one of them, so just give me the cilantro!
