How many types of taste are there?
There are generally considered to be five primary types of taste: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Each type of taste corresponds to a different group of taste receptors on the tongue that detect certain molecules in food. These distinct taste sensations help us to perceive and enjoy a wide variety of flavors in the foods we eat.
