Whatever size of tongue you may have, it serves an important purpose in our bodies. The tongue is primarily responsible for how we taste. The average person has around 10,000 taste buds on and around the tongue, providing the ability to detect the 5 known tastes: bitter, sour, salty, sweet and umami, which is a pleasant, savoury taste. Every 10 to 14 days, taste buds die off and are promptly replaced.
