Eli5: Do our tastebuds actually “change” as we get older? Who do kids dislike a certain food, then start liking it as an adult?

Question

When I was a kid, I did not like spicy food. Now an adult, I love it.

In: 2025

Answer 1

I never developed the spicy taste, but I’ve been a big sour and bitter fan since I was a kid.

What I want to know is why one day when I was a teenager bananas went from delicious to disgusting.
