February 24th is the annual “International Cilantro Hate Day”. Cilantro is just like cantaloupe. Some people like its special aroma, while others avoid it. However, cilantro is actually rich in nutritional value. Nutritionists and Chinese medicine practitioners even praise “the whole plant is a treasure”, and some doctors praise it as “the best detoxifier”. It can even help balance blood sugar, increase appetite, fight bacteria and solve brain fog. The benefits are A lot.
Coriander is often found in many classic Taiwanese snacks. Some people think that coriander can help enhance the flavor, but some people are particularly disgusted with it. According to a study published by researcher Nicholas Eriksson in the journal Nature, they tested 30,000 people. A gene scan was performed among the patients and it was found that the gene OR6A2, which is used to sense odors, is very sensitive to aldehydes, and coriander contains a large amount of these substances. Therefore, people who inherit this gene are particularly disgusted with coriander. About 1 to 2 adults eat it. When I eat coriander, I get the smell of “soap, bugs, and earth.”
But in fact, coriander is rich in nutritional value. Nutritionist Song Minghua said that coriander contains three times more vitamin C than tomatoes, more than peaches, pears and apples. Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables and is destroyed when exposed to high temperatures. But because cilantro is usually “put in last,” even with salad dishes, vitamin C can be kept intact. In addition, carotene is 10 times higher than that of tomatoes, kidney beans, cucumbers, etc.; it is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, etc.
In addition, Chinese medicine doctor Zou Weilun said that coriander can be used as medicine from its seeds, roots to stems and leaves, and even the whole plant can be eaten, especially the leaves. Adding it to soup or rice is effective in relieving disharmony in the stomach or eliminating the feeling of fullness. It can be said that “the whole plant is a treasure.”
Finally, Dr. Lobsang Gatsen once mentioned in the book “Tibetan Health Techniques for Not Getting Sick” that ingesting coriander for a period of time can remove heavy metals from the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and digestive tract, calling it “the best “Detoxifier”; in addition, it can also help balance blood sugar, increase appetite, fight bacteria, and resolve brain fog.
