Kailan leaves, also known as Chinese broccoli, contain natural sugars that are released when the leaves are chewed. This process breaks down the cell walls and activates enzymes that convert starches into simpler sugars, enhancing their sweetness. Additionally, the release of certain aromatic compounds can contribute to a perception of sweetness on the palate. As a result, the flavor profile of kailan becomes noticeably sweeter after chewing.
The starch turns into sugar.
The process of digestion begins in the mouth. As you chew, you release saliva into your mouth. Your saliva begins to convert starches into sugars before the food even gets to your stomach, so the starch in the rice begins to taste sweeter as you chew it. This is also quite apparent if you chew a salty soda cracker for a very long time, the flavor turns sweeter the longer you chew to mix in your saliva and cause the conversion.

They smell great but don't taste good if you chew them. They make great herbal tea though.
maybe because you've been eating sweet potato without knowing? And because the sugars break down in the potato.Answer:Saliva contains salivary amylase (ptyalin). This enzyme breaks down the starch in potatoes into simple sugars like maltose which are sweet. Once converted your taste buds can recognize the sweetness of the sugar.
You have taste buds on your tongue.
