Why do reeds start tasting sweet after using them for a while?

Maybe I’m just going insane but after using my instrument reeds for long enough they start tasting sweet. I was thinking that my spit might be breaking down the cellulose into simple sugars but that would definitely affect the sound and I don’t think saliva is that strong.

Who knew my saliva could turn reeds into a tasty treat? I’m like a magical candy factory!
