A Japanese company claims to have developed a spoon capable of enhancing the taste of salt in food.
According to the report of the foreign news agency, the said company claims that using a spoon can reduce the use of real salt by up to a third.
News of the Japanese spoon is going viral on social media, where the electric spoon for salting food has become the center of attention.
According to the company, the use of excess salt in food can lead to various diseases and the ‘electric spoon’ has been developed to solve this problem.
The ‘Electric Spoon’ is manufactured by ‘Karen Holdings’, a leading beverage company in Japan.
The company claims that by using this spoon, you can feel the salty taste even though the food is low in salt and it can play a role in promoting a healthy life.
The electric spoon is made of plastic and metal. When a person eats with the help of this spoon, the spoon releases a weak electrical signal.
These electrical signals increase the effectiveness of the sodium (salt) molecules in the food, making the food taste saltier.
The 60g spoon is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and the metal in the spoon transfers a weak electrical charge to the tongue to attract sodium ions, thus giving the user a salty taste without the actual salt.
According to the report, the price of this spoon is 100 euros, which is more than 30 thousand Pakistanis, while according to Keren Holdings, the company will sell only 200 spoons online this month, which will cost 127 US dollars.

**Interview with Dr. Akira Tanaka: Food Technology Expert**
**Editor:** Welcome, Dr. Tanaka! Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recently launched Electric Salt Spoon developed by a Japanese company. This innovative device claims to enhance the salty taste of food while potentially reducing our reliance on actual salt. What are your initial thoughts on this technology?
**Dr. Tanaka:** Thank you for having me! I’m quite intrigued by the Electric Salt Spoon. The idea of using electrical stimulation to enhance taste is fascinating and extends our understanding of how we perceive flavor. If this device can genuinely reduce sodium intake without compromising taste, it could have significant health benefits.
**Editor:** That’s an important point. As we know, excessive salt consumption is linked to several health issues, such as hypertension. How does the spoon actually work to achieve this enhanced taste?
**Dr. Tanaka:** The spoon operates by passing a weak electric current through its tip, which helps concentrate sodium ion molecules on the tongue. This concentration heightens the perception of saltiness, allowing users to enjoy their food with less added salt. It’s an innovative way to stimulate our taste buds.
**Editor:** It sounds quite promising! With rising health concerns related to salt intake, do you believe this technology will have a widespread impact on dietary habits?
**Dr. Tanaka:** Potentially, yes. If people find the Electric Salt Spoon effective and enjoyable, it could lead to healthier eating habits. Many individuals struggle to reduce their salt intake, so this could serve as a practical solution. Plus, with the product going viral on social media, it may attract more attention to the importance of managing sodium consumption.
**Editor:** Speaking of social media, the Electric Salt Spoon has generated considerable buzz online. How do you see the role of social media in shaping consumer interest in such innovative food technologies?
**Dr. Tanaka:** Social media plays a crucial role in disseminating information about new technologies. It allows for instant feedback from users, which can influence purchasing decisions. If early adopters share positive experiences, it can lead to rapid adoption. However, I think it’s also essential for consumers to understand the science behind the product before fully embracing it.
**Editor:** That’s a great point, Dr. Tanaka. As we move forward, what are some considerations consumers should keep in mind when using such devices?
**Dr. Tanaka:** I would encourage consumers to use the spoon as a complement to their diet rather than a replacement for mindful eating. While the device may enhance flavor, balance and moderation are key components of a healthy diet. It’s also important to stay informed about continued research and any potential long-term effects of using such technology.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Tanaka, for shedding light on this innovative product. It’s certainly a fascinating development in food technology, and we look forward to seeing how it influences our culinary experiences and health.
**Dr. Tanaka:** Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time for food innovation, and I can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
