Question

why do we need to smell and taste foods?

Answer 1

we learn to rely on our senses of taste and smell to warn us away from foods that may be dangerous. Finally, the ability to taste is so crucial to the act of eating that when we can't taste our food we just don't have the desire to eat as much as we usually do.

Ex .

If we smell something unusual in a food product (pickle,vegetable) we dont eat it.

Answer 2

That's because only the taste, not the food odors, are being detected. Taste itself is focused on distinguishing chemicals that have a sweet, salty, sour, bitter, or umami taste (umami is Japanese for “savory”). However, interactions between the senses of taste and smell enhance our perceptions of the foods we eat.
