Not all plants have a bad taste. Many vegetables taste sweet (including Stevia), and many have starches which we can break down which provide this flavor. The reason why there are many plants that are bitter is because they often create alkaloid compounds, which have many amino groups, making the molecules very alkaline, and giving them a bitter taste.
