Do supertasters like spicy food?

December 5, 2021 By caffeinelevel

Do supertasters like spicy food?

“Supertasters are more sensitive to a wide range of oral stimuli including the bitter taste of caffeine and quinine, the sweet taste of sucrose and saccharin, and to the oral burn of capsaicin.https://www.sensorysociety.org/knowledge/sspwiki/Pages/PROP%20and%20Taster%20Status.aspx” In general, compared to a non-taster, a supertaster would be less likely to prefer spicy foods. With that said, just because they are more sensitive to spicy foods doesn’t mean that they don’t like it.

So many other factors come into play when talking about whether supertasters prefer a certain food or not. I’ve met at least a few supertasters that love spicy foods. Some cultures and ethnicities cook much spicier foods than others. I definitely think that supertasters can get used to spicy foods even with their increased sensitivity.

Read more details on how to tell if you are a supertaster. We also talk about whether supertasters are picky eaters.
