I'm sure you know this, but today one must learn to make smart choices in the face of modern foods which are readily available. I refrain from sugar in my diet and to me citric acid (Vitamin C powder) and sometimes vinegar hot sauce taste sweet.

Fruit, a rare treat, tastes like candy.

It depends on what you've become accustomed to eating.



Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, not citric acid, though both are ubiquitous in citrus fruit.


Many hot peppers actually have a good bit of sugar in them. I was making some Tabasco sauce I'm the fall and the bees were very interested in it. I also grew some cayenne peppers that didn't have any heat and they were quite sweet.
