Tasting and the Five Flavors

In this episode, we talk about tasting and what flavors you actually taste with your tongue.

You only taste five distinct flavors with your tongue. They are:
Salty, Savory, Spicy, Sour and Sweet.

In this episode we discuss these flavors and do a tasting exercise to help you identify what flavors you like, and which flavors you don’t like!
