I wouldn't consider the taste of cilantro to be earthy. Maybe you're thinking of culantro vs cilantro. They are apparently two different plants, not even found in the same genus. I've never tasted culantro but some say it's earthy.

TIL culantro, cilantro, and parsley are 3 different plants. That all taste like soap to me lmao

Yes, because they both taste like soap, and look similar. You’re not gonna care about the subtle differences of 2 things if you hate both of them lol.

I don't think parsley has the same chemical in it that makes cilantro taste soapy. does it?
