sweet flavor

Honey on tongue

Sweet flavor is one of the basic taste sensations, detected primarily on the tongue when sugars or similar compounds are present.

It's the taste of honey, ripe fruit, candy, and desserts.

The sweet flavor of the peaches made them perfect for pie.

Sweet flavor often signals calories and energy to the body, which is why humans are drawn to it from infancy.
