Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Supertasters have a heightened sense of taste because they have more taste buds and smaller papillae. This means they experience taste more intensely, especially the tastes that typically have a pleasant or unpleasant taste. Supertasters often find sweet tastes to be extremely sweet, which is why choice C is the correct answer. Choice A is not accurate, as supertasters are more sensitive to bitterness, not sweetness. Choice B is also not accurate, as supertasters find bitter tastes in vegetables like broccoli to be more intense. Choice D is also not accurate, as supertasters do not experience a sweet taste when consuming salt.
