▎Electric Salt Spoon: A Taste of the Future
The Electric Salt Spoon, introduced by Kirin Holdings at CES 2025, aims to enhance flavor and promote healthier eating. This unique device sends a small electrical current to gather sodium ions on the tongue, boosting the taste of even the blandest dishes. It features four saltiness settings, with a recommendation to start at Level 1 due to its powerful effects.
▎How It Works
The spoon works by transmitting an electric current through a metal strip in the spoon's bowl, delivering a gentle shock to enhance flavor. Taste tests showed effectiveness, but users found it awkward to hold and experienced some spills during use.
▎Health Implications
With the average salt intake in the UK exceeding the recommended limit, this innovative spoon could help reduce sodium consumption without sacrificing flavor.
