Usually bitter, although it is not as universal as acidic foods tasting sour. Many types of plants produce alkaline compounds to prevent being eaten and these are usually very bitter. If you have ever had a baked good with too much baking soda you may have also noticed a bitter flavour.

I’ve eaten both dandelions and dandelion greens raw as a kid, and yeah they’re pretty bitter.

Dandelion greens are pretty good after being washed and cooked like any other green, though!
