How Much Cilantro Is Too Much
Cilantro is actually a mild diuretic and digestive aid—in small amounts. In large amounts, it’s like inviting a tiny lawnmower to a party in your intestines. You might get bloated, gassy, or feel like your belly is hosting a protest.
That’s your body saying, “Thank you for the antioxidants, but please stop.” If you’ve ever eaten a whole bunch of cilantro in one sitting (looking at you, salsa lovers), you know the burps are certifiably weird. They taste like a salad that’s still alive.
