Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.
This Monday, food is reinvented thanks to a spoon that improves the taste of food.
Thanks to a flavor enhancer, she can turn a bland dish into a delicious dish.
After salt and pepper, it is now the cutlery that will improve the taste.
There is now a spoon with a flavor enhancer.
It can make a dish completely banal, as tasty as if it had been prepared by a chef.
It's not very glorious, a kind of culinary doping.
This is a classic spoon with a small electrode hidden in the hollow part.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, the electrode will send a small discharge on the tongue which will stimulate the taste buds and make everything you eat much tastier.
No matter how much you swallow a spoonful of boiled broccoli without salt, you will find it perfectly delicious.
So it might be ideal for kids who don't like vegetables.
Isn't that unpleasant on the tongue?
In principle, no.
It is a very small, totally imperceptible discharge.
The technology originated in Japan a few years ago.
Initially, it was used to add a salty taste to everything we eat, especially for those who must follow a diet without salt.
SpoonTek, the startup that manufactures this spoon, has gone further since it no longer just transforms the taste, it outright fools flavor detectors.
Coincidentally, she is now in contact with airlines and diet meal specialists.
You can immediately imagine why: they want to use the magic spoon to give a little more taste to the meal trays or zero percent porridge.
So pay attention to the cutlery that we offer.
If there is a small electrode on it, it must not be very good.
