    Jan 29, 2023 2 minutes

    Question:

    Your article about reducing salt intake by using herbs and spices for flavouring (“Shaking the habit”, December 3) started me thinking about coriander. I’m not fond of the taste of coriander, but others love it. Why the difference?

    Answer:

    It’s estimated 3-21% of the general population dislike coriander, varying with ethnicity.

    I routinely avoid dishes containing coriander because it has an overpowering unpleasant taste for me.
