Six Tastes of life


The six tastes of life include: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent. While you’re probably most familiar with sweet, sour and bitter tastes, astringent is harder to identify.

🔥Foods with an astringent taste “have drying and cooling qualities,” according to Healthline. Some of these include parsley, beans, turmeric and vanilla.

Here are some nutritious foods with each of the six tastes:

Strawberries (sweet)

Lemons (sour)

Almonds (salty)

Cranberries (bitter)

Onions (pungent)

Broccoli (astringent)

B: Berries and beans

R: Rainbow colors of fruits and vegetables

A: Antioxidants

I: Include lean proteins and plant-based proteins

N: Nuts

F: Fiber-rich foods and fermented foods

O: Oils

O: Omega-rich foods

D: Dairy Plant Based

S: Spices #lean
