    Our tongues have four basic taste buds for sweet, sour, bitter, and salty tastes. According to traditional understanding, sweet taste buds are located on the tip of the tongue, bitter on the back, salty near the front and sides, and sour on the sides. However, recent research has concluded that taste bud locations may vary between individuals.

    THE SENSE OF TASTE Our tongues have four basic types of taste buds: sweet, sour,

    bitter, and salty. These taste buds are on different parts of our tongues. Most people taste:

    SWEET on the tips of their tongues BITTER on the back, SALTY near the front and sides.

    SOUR on the sides,

    However, research today has come to the conclusion that this may not be the case for everyone. GLOSSARY Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.

    Sweet: having the pleasant taste of, for example, sugar, honey Salty: tasting of salt Bitter: having a strong and disgusting taste Sour /sa(r)/ : having an acid taste like lemon or vinegar
