Love it even more knowing how good it is for me! Here is the post and the recipes.
Cilantro. People are either lovers are total haters. There is a great article all about it from The New York Times. The haters often describe cilantro as having a soapy taste.
There is a genetic component to why taste the soap and who doesn’t that hasn’t been fully understood yet though it seems that when cilantro is crushed (like in a pesto) or juices, that soapiness goes away.

Why does it matter?
Cilantro is one of the best of the best foods for detoxing heavy metals from the body! The chemical compounds in cilantro actually bind to the toxic heavy metals, loosening them from the tissues, blood and organs.
Cilantro’s chemical compounds then call “all aboard” on the transport shuttle and move these bad guys out of the body through pooping.Detox loving for sure!
Studies have also suggested that cilantro could be one of nature’s best chelation agents, particularly for individuals who have been exposed to heightened levels of mercury (check this post about mercury in the mouth). Bonus time- the qualities of cilantro oil have a powerfully positive effect on our inner digestive tract.
The oils aid our digestive system in its production of digestive enzymes, acids and juices.
