Scores describe estimated intensity, not quality: 0 = not noticeable, 5 = very pronounced. A dash means not established from our sources, not zero. Shading connects adjacent known points; open sections have unscored flavors. Heat uses tiers from 1 (Mild) to 5 (Superhot), not Scoville measurements. Texture is listed separately.

Sour / tangy

The sharp, mouthwatering bite of vinegar, citrus or fermentation. “Vinegary” tells you which kind.
