Six Taste Spice Blend

The Six Taste spice blend encompasses sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes, found in all foods, herbs, spices, and beverages. These flavors are introduced to the body through the taste buds, stimulating the digestive, assimilation, and elimination processes, nourishing the body, mind, and soul.

A complete meal is believed to include all six of these tastes and can be achieved by proper food combining, the use of spices, herbs, and supplements. Furthermore, the six tastes satisfy the body's dietary building blocks; sweet foods are rich in fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and water, whereas bitter and astringent foods are high in vitamins and minerals.

Below is a spice blend with all six tastes. It is tri-doshic, balancing all three doshas.
