Starch.

Starch is a polymer made up of glucose (simple sugar) monomers.

As soon as you start to eat starchy food (Bread, rice, pasta, potatoes), your saliva starts to break it up into separate glucose molecules. So each of these foods tastes a little sweet.

The rest of the starch molecule is broken down in your stomch and intestines and it is all absorbed into the blood as glucose.
