READING:

A new spoon from Japan will make food taste saltier. It is called the Electric Salt Spoon. It will help people use less salt. It sends a weak electric current to the tongue. This makes salt taste stronger. We can have less salt, but still taste it. A researcher said we need to have less salt. However, she said food with no salt is tasteless.

Too much salt causes heart problems and high blood pressure. The WHO says we should have less than 5 grams of salt a day. In Japan, people have around 10.1g. The Electric Salt Spoon costs 19,800 yen. The maker hopes to sell a million of them over the next five years. A researcher has also created electric chopsticks.
