@matrix "A supertaster is a person who tastes certain flavors and foods more strongly than other people.
The human tongue is wrapped in taste buds (fungiform papillae). The small, mushroom-shaped bumps are covered with taste receptors that bind to the molecules from your food and help tell your brain what youâre eating.
Some people have more of these taste buds and receptors, so their perception of flavor is stronger than the average person. They are known as supertasters. Supertasters are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors in foods such as broccoli, spinach, coffee, beer, and chocolate."
