When it comes to the childhood happiness of the post-90s, half of them are given by cartoons, and half are given by fast food restaurants.
But the post-90s generation never expected that when they grew up, the fast food restaurants of childhood happy hour began to engage in black cooking.
The strawberry Shinji, which used to be licked clean at the lid of the cup, has suddenly changed to a spicy and coriander flavor.
Recently, an arch launched a new product--- coriander Xindi, when the silky sweet ice cream, sprinkled with a piece of green coriander, so that people who love to eat coriander who do not like to eat coriander are silent.......
As an excellent Son and Daughter of China, when it comes to eating, each has its own choices and standards, but there are also some people around who, when they see a bunch of delicacies, will come to a sentence in advance---- Don't eat coriander!"
Why do people hate coriander so much?
In fact, the smell of coriander is strong and special, and this taste is so unique, mainly because it contains some aldehydes, such as trans-2-decenalaldehyde-----
And this aldehyde substance, some people will not be sensitive, mainly because on chromosome 11, there is a gene called OR6A2.
This gene makes it easier for people to smell the "stink" in coriander, and some bitter taste genes can make it difficult for them to accept coriander.
This means that ---- friends who don't like to eat coriander are not mouth-wrenching, but destined that their noses and tongues are too sensitive!
