6.2.3 Six Tastes in Ayurveda

Here are the six tastes.
- Sweet or bland;
- Salty or salty;
- Sour or acidic;
- Pungent or hot;
- Bitter or tart;
- Astringent.

In the example I gave, the veggie burger ( 6.2.2) and bun give the sweet taste. The salt gives the salty taste. The pickles give the sour taste. The mustard gives the hot (pungent) taste. The green lettuce given the astringent taste. And last and not least, the rubard gives the bitter taste.

OK, I could have used turmeric for the bitter taste, but who wants a yellow veggie burger? Of course the burger I describe is real food, not a fast-food burger which is predominantly sweet-sour-salty; nothing to do with the “Big R”.
