Having a sour or slightly acidic quality that is noticeable but not overwhelming.
From Latin 'acidulus' (somewhat sour), possibly influenced by French 'acidulent.' The -ent suffix indicates a state or condition of being, common in describing tastes and sensations.
Acidulent describes that perfect tart punch in wild berries or unripe peaches—sour enough to make your mouth water but not so sour it's painful, which is why our taste buds love it!
