@Meaningness The soapiness was offputting. Maybe I got a bad one. -
@St_Rev I don’t find them soapy… but some people think cilantro tastes like soap, and others don’t. Maybe same chemical? -
@Meaningness Wiki goes into great detail on the composition of oil of kumquat but is silent on cilantro. -

@Meaningness Yeah, but it doesn't get more specific than 'aldehydes'. -
@St_Rev Or “some genes may be involved.” Thank you Science!
