Sweetness levels

Sweetness levels describe how sweet a food or beverage tastes, usually measured on a scale from not sweet at all to very sweet. For example, a spoonful of honey is very sweet, while a fresh cucumber is barely sweet. This measurement helps compare different items, like candies, fruits, or drinks, to understand their sugar content and flavor profile. Factors like natural sugars in fruits or added sugars in processed foods influence sweetness. Recognizing these levels helps you choose products that match your taste preference or dietary needs, providing clarity about how sweet a product truly is.
