Test your tastebuds

Jun 09 09:00am

Are you a super-, medium- or non-taster?
If bitter foods make you do a face, you're probably a supertaster - they tend not to like foods like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, grapefruit, green tea, coffee, spinach and alcoholic drinks. Non-tasters, on the other hand, are particularly insensitive to the flavour of bitter foods. There's nothing wrong with being a supertaster or non-taster - the difference simply represents normal variation in humans, like hair or eye colour. You might have suspicions about what kind of taster you are, but if you want to find out for sure take the quick quiz, and find out how to decipher your tongue's tastebuds using blue food dye.
