  1. What Are the Five Basic Tastes?

  2. Bitter A poison alarm, bitterness is a distinctive bad taste accompanied by a reflexive “yuck” expression on the face. Hundreds of substances, mostly found in plants, taste bitter

  3. Salty Our brains are programmed so that a little salt tastes good, and a lot tastes bad. This ensures we consume just enough to maintain the salt balance our bodies need to function.

  4. Sour The mouth-puckering sensation is caused by acids in lemons, yogurt and sourdough bread and other food.

  5. The most elemental of taste pleasures, sweetness signals the presence of sugars, the foundation of the food chain and a source of energy.

  6. Japanese for “delicious taste,” umami is produced by certain amino acids. It’s best described as “savory”—a taste rich in flavor released by cooking, curing or aging.

  7. The five basic tastes may soon be joined by fat. A growing body of research suggests the tongue has receptors that can detect fatty acids, and the luxurious appeal of high-fat foods like ice cream and butter is more than just a matter of texture.
