Explanation:

It is frequently quoted that upwards of 80% of our taste is made up by smell. So if we plug our nose and cover our eyes, the taste between an apple and onion should be indistinguishable. Also, All potato chip flavors taste the same.

Most people find this simple, scientifically proven fact hard to believe. They think that this is some kind of a myth, but it isn’t. There is a solid logic behind it. It’s not only your tongue and its taste buds that are responsible for your sense of taste. In fact, they are not even the most important element in your sense of taste.

About 80 percent of your sense of taste actually depends on your sense of smell.

What you don’t taste is the actual nature of the food item you’re eating, until its odor reaches the smell sensors (olfactory receptors) inside your nose. Your smell sensors and your taste buds work together to tell your brain what you’re eating. This is how you can taste and recognize different types of foods.
