These days, how many friends really go to buy a certain arch of the "dark cuisine" ---- coriander new land?
When I first saw the propaganda poster, I felt that this matter revealed a smell of "doing things":
Maybe for coriander herself, I never thought of being put in ice cream in my life...
How fierce are the people who are fierce with coriander?
According to unofficial statistics, about 15% of the world's people do not eat coriander, so every year on February 24, they hold a "World Hate Coriander Day".
On this day, all the people who hate coriander have united to vent their dissatisfaction with coriander with words, pictures and behaviors.
Coriander, why do some people hate and some people love?
Coriander is also known as coriander, and because this smell is so strong and special, everyone feels about it differently, and even some people think that the taste of coriander is rich and changeable in their mouths.
In terms of composition, the main reason why coriander has such a special taste is because it contains some aldehydes, such as --- trans-2-decenalaldehyde.
That's right, this cargo looks like this...
The human body's sense of taste and smell is controlled by genes, and some people have a gene called OR6A2 on chromosome 11. This gene makes people more sensitive to aldehydes, making it easier to smell the "smell" in coriander.
At the same time, coriander also has some bitter taste genes, which will also affect the acceptance of coriander.
Of course, genes are not the decisive factor, and eating habits and cultural exposure from an early age also have an impact on their food preferences.
So if you meet some people who don't eat coriander, don't think they are picky eaters, but their noses and tongues are too sensitive.
Although coriander is "smelly", it has a lot of health effects
