Did you know an apple, potato and onion all taste the same if your nose plugged.?
Yeah, its like having a cold. Have you ever wondered why food seem tasteless when you have a cold?
It's not your taste buds' fault. Blame your stuffed-up nose. Seventy to seventy-five percent of what we perceive as taste actually comes from our sense of smell. Taste buds allow us to perceive only bitter, salty, sweet, and sour flavors. It's the odor molecules from food that give us most of our taste sensation.
Where are our taste buds?
Taste buds contain the receptors for taste. They are located around the small structures on the upper surface of the tongue.
Taste is the sense by which the chemical qualities of food in the mouth are distinguished by the brain.
Yes. Apples and potatoes have the same taste but different smell. Onion also has the same taste as apples and potatoes.
