Japan-based company Kirin has unveiled a spoon and bowl that allegedly uses electricity to make food 1.5-times saltier without resorting to any chemicals or actual flavorings. Both items, a part of the ‘Erekisoruto’ line, reportedly work by transmitting a specific wavelength of electricity from their surface to the food, which in turn keys into the ions such as sodium chloride that trigger our sense of saltiness.
By transmitting this specific wavelength of electricity from their surface into the food, all of the ions all get clumped together when they hit your tongue, thus providing a heightened sense of saltiness to your food, without actually adding any extra sodium. Kirin says that both items could go on sale as early as next year, but has not provided price points for them.
