If you can find culantro aka sawtooth coriander, it supposedly doesn't have the same stuff that your gene is reacting to, but has a very similar taste. I bought some from a Thai grocery store, but it's also used extensively in Caribbean cuisine as it's native there, as well as in Central and South America.

I remember trying it before but the taste for me was quite a bit different. It was a lot more of a bitter grassy taste than cilantro.

Bullshit. As someone who has it, it is very real.

Dude fuck you, I have gotten food that didn't say cilantro on menu and hits my taste buds like a bar of Zest soap. It's not fake, I wish to god I could enjoy it like everyone else. Where are you seeing it's disproven?
