Humans can smell food from a distance due to volatile compounds released by the food that travel through the air. These compounds bind to olfactory receptors in the nose, triggering the sense of smell. The ability to detect these scents is enhanced by the sensitivity of our olfactory system, which can identify even small concentrations of odor molecules. Additionally, favorable wind conditions can carry these scents over long distances, allowing us to perceive them before we see the food.
