Capabilities

The user has accurate sense of taste, allowing them to sense both harmful and beneficial things, as all basic tastes are classified as either aversive or appetitive, depending upon the effect the things they sense have on our bodies. Sweetness helps to identify energy-rich foods, while bitterness serves as a warning sign of poisons.

If advanced enough, the user might even be able to tell certain things about people if they taste something the person they're describing ate/drank previously, such as gender.
