The sense of taste is one a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-bu ds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other taste are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so called taste messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. All this happens in just a few second.
There are four kinds of taste buds, each of which is sensitive to only particular taste. These four groups are located in different part of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty ang sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds for the bitter taste are found at the inner most edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of tongue.
The sense of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly, attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
