Does cilantro taste like a mouthful of soap to you? If you’re nodding your head, please know you are not alone, and you are not a picky eater! For a lot of people, a certain genetic trait makes this popular herb taste… well, pretty awful. (It’s a real science thing!)

We’ve all been there. You buy a beautiful bunch of fresh basil for one specific recipe, use about four leaves, and stick the rest in the fridge. Two days later, you find a sad, blackened, slimy mess. It’s a waste of money and a waste of perfectly good herbs. The dream, of course, is to just snip a few leaves off a thriving plant right on your kitchen counter whenever you need them.

We’ve all been there. You’re wandering through the farmers market on a perfect Saturday morning, the air filled with the scent of fresh produce and baking bread. You spot them: rows of perfect, verdant potted herbs. Visions of snipping fresh basil for pasta sauce and rosemary for roasted potatoes dance in your head. You pick out a few, bring them home, and place them lovingly on your sunniest windowsill.
