Most of what you call taste
is actually smell.

Your tongue handles the basics, like sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Everything else in flavor comes from your nose. That’s why we measure both.

THE SCIENCE

Taste and smell share pathways to the brain and often change together, which is why a taste change is often a smell change.

“It’s been four or five years since I’ve actually appreciated a meal.”
