Starting with sweet, we explore the world of flavors, with a focus on tasty fruits. From sweet to sour, salty, bitter, and umami, join us as we articulate and analyze each taste.

Get ready for a flavor adventure that will deepen your appreciation for the diverse experiences our taste buds offer.

How sensitive are your taste buds? In this episode, we’ll be doing a live experiment to see if we qualify as “Supertasters.” We discovered an at-home experiment to test for supertasting abilities and thought it would make for a fun and engaging podcast episode. Join us as we explore the science behind taste sensitivity, conduct the experiment live, and share our results.
