I'm thinking of ways to explain why you do/don't like a certain food.
I don't like broccoli because-
It tastes good
It doesn't taste good
It's nasty
I like spicy food
Thanks

I see that you are using "sabe" for tastes. What verb does that come from, because I thought "sabe" meant "knows" (Ella no sabe donde esta su libro. from saber).

No me gusta el brocoli porque:
Sabe bien
No sabe bien
Es repulsivo
Me gusta la comida picante
About your second question, yes, the verbe "saber" means to know and the taste of something.
Have you ever wondered why the verbe "lead" can be " to guide" or the gray, heavy metal ?
Or corn, the cereal or the skin overgrowth in the feet ?
Or spring, the twisted piece of wire within the matress or a fountain of water or the action of jumping or the season of the year ? Have you ever wondered about any of these words ?
Why are you surprised ? English contains many, many more examples of this double meaning

I don't like broccoli because-
No me gusta el brócoli porque-
It tastes good = Sabe bien
It doesn't taste good = No sabe bien
It's nasty = Es asqueroso/repugnante
I like spicy food = Me gusta la comida picante
The verb saber means know or taste. Example:
Esta tortilla sabe muy bien = This omelet taste very good
No sabe por qué = He/she/it doesn't know why

The word "sabe" here comes from "sabor" = taste, flavour
The other one is "saber" = to know, be able, know how
So, yes it has two different meanings.
I hope this helps.

The verb "saber" has several meanings, one of which - like you said - is "to know". Another meaning is "to taste" (i.e. having flavour, not the act of putting food in your mouth).
