                                According to World Atlas, the sweetest substance in the world is a protein known as Thaumatin, derived from the katemfe fruit. This astonishing level of sweetness can be thousands of times more potent than regular table sugar (sucrose), sparking curiosity about how such an intense flavor is possible. The answer involves a complex interplay of natural compounds, human biology, and advanced food science.
