In 5 Element Diet & Nutrition there are five basic categories of taste: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and spicy. What a particular food tastes like indicates which organ(s) are going to benefit from the nourishment being delivered. On the other hand, when you have a craving for a particular taste, that's an indication that the organ related to that taste is weak and needs to be balanced.

The Five Tastes A balanced diet includes food that combines the five tastes: Salty / Sour / Bitter / Sweet / Spicy

When your meals combine as many of the '5 tastes' as possible, you're well on your way toward cultivating good digestion, which is a hallmark of good health.
