The first time I bought cilantro, I was just curious about it. I had
recently started cooking Asian foods. All the way home in the car, I
smelled bug spray. Drove me nuts. When I got home, I started
sniffing at my produce (I'd been at the farmer's market), and finally
found the culprit. Cilantro. I shoved the whole bundle down the
garbage disposal. Talk about releasing the plant's essences! Whew!

Now I love it, whether it smells like insecticide or not. LOL!
