Aid Digestion with Bitters - Herbal Medicine
A bitter tastes bitter in flavor. Classic bitters are dark chocolate, coffee, dandelion, gentian and greens. Many traditional cultures encourage the inclusion of all 5 flavours in the diet, upon the belief that each flavor has a particular effect on the body. As human beings we have evolved eating food growing in the wild that has a bitter component, such as bitter greens and barks. Our palate has evolved to become acquainted with sweet and salty food and bitterness has become unfamiliar.
