Note: This flavour profile serves to guide you based on your preferences. However it is worth mentioning that in TCM, craving of a certain flavour may mean an imbalance and a signal to the body to rebalance it. The 5 basic flavours in Eastern tradition are linked to the 5 elements and also specific organs in the body and include:
Salty: Water element, enters the kidney
Sour: Wood element, enters the liver
Bitter: Fire element, enters the heart
Sweet: Earth element, enters the spleen
Pungent: Metal element, enters the lung.
