We have a natural affinity for sweetness, which is fulfilled by
fruits. Sourness can indicate unripe fruit, and is generally
unappealing.

We have a natural affinity for saltiness, which is fulfilled by
greens & vegetables. Bitterness can indicate toxins, and is
generally unappealing.

It can take a while to appreciate the saltiness of greens/veg,
especially after spending time (usually years) eating a
"standard" diet that is extremely high in salt. But once a taste
for greens begins to build, there is an appeal (non-sweet but
watery & fresh, salty) that is not met by fruit.
