Science News Ep12: A spoon that makes your food saltier


Do you think you need a high-tech spoon that generates an electrical field in your mouth to trick your brain into perceiving food as saltier than it is?

The spoon’s mechanism is straightforward. The sensation of salty flavor depends on the effect sodium ions have on taste buds and the signals sent to the brain. Typically, these sodium ions are evenly spread in your mouth when you eat, making them less noticeable.

The Elecisalt spoon’s tip has a device that emits an electric charge into the food and creates an electrical field around your tongue when you use it. This causes the sodium ions to cluster together, making the salt taste more intense with the same amount of salt.
