Do you dislike the taste of certain vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, kale, olives, and cucumber? Does the bitterness of black coffee, black tea, or even beer turn you off? Are birthday cakes and typical sugary treats usually too sweet for you? Does eating spicy foods like hot wings and peppers feel painful?
If you answer "yes" to these questions, you may be one of the 25 percent of the population who are supertasters. Supertasters are the group of people with an unusually high number of taste buds, which make them experience taste with far greater intensity than others. They are extremely sensitive to the taste of bitter foods compared to those who are average tasters or non-tasters.
Non-tasters on the other hand find many foods bland. They enjoy spicy dishes, and usually require more seasoning in their food to make it taste good.
Take this quiz to find out if you are a supertaster or a non-taster based on the foods you dislike. This is by no means a lab test, so do take it with a pinch of salt (see what we did there?).

I got 22 out of 30!
You’re a supertaster! You belong to the 25 percent of the population that is extremely sensitive to taste. You likely have many more taste buds than the average person. It’s practically a superpower! To mask the bitterness of certain foods, you may find yourself reaching for more salt. Just remember to go easy on the sodium, okay?
15/30 medium taste tester.

16/30
Medium taster

You’re a medium taster! You belong to the 45 to 50 percent of the population who have the average number of taste receptors. Average tasters are the luckiest, and most common, of the lot. You are easy to please and enjoy most food. Good for you!
