Paragraph 1
A
-powered spoon that makes food taste saltier is now in
in Japan. It is called the Electric Salt Spoon. It was created by researchers from Tokyo's Meiji University and the Japanese
company Kirin. They hope their spoon will help people to cut down on the
of salt they eat. The spoon sends a weak electric current to the
. The
is too weak to be felt. However, it makes salt taste up to one and a half times
. This means we can eat food with less salt, but still
a salty taste. Researcher Ai Sato said: "Japan has a food
that tends to favour salty tastes. People need to reduce the amount of salt in their food." However, she added that food with no salt is
and tasteless.
