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)
