Fresh Cilantro
Fresh cilantro divides palates due to a genetic trait related to the perception of its aldehydes (similar to soap for some). Its leaves, extremely thermolabile, oxidize and lose all aromatic interest above 60°C: they are strictly used raw, as a finishing touch. Its roots, on the other hand, contain denser, earthy essential oils that withstand heat; they are the fundamental pillar (pounded in a mortar) of Thai curry pastes.
