Here comes the device that adds sweet flavor to dishes
You may not know it, but on the market abroad, and precisely in the United States, there is a tablet (such as one of our Zigulì), called ” Miracle Berry “ (miraculous berry) which, if ingested before, can change the flavor of feed over the next few minutes, making any food sweeter, even vinegar which becomes fruit juice or a lemon which becomes as sweet as candy. It has no calories, yet it manages to change the flavor of any food we eat next to sweet . Cool, right?
And that’s exactly what scientists have managed to do now, creating a device to be inserted in the cutlery, which modifies the taste of food: it can in fact add a sweet taste to what we eat, making vegetables more pleasant for children, for example, or making sure that people who love sweets can let off steam their passion by eating celery.
In particular, the device devised by scientists , compared to Miracle Berry, does not make everything sweeter, but only low-carbohydrate foods:
and it can also be used to make unsalted foods naturally more salty without adding salt to them.
Nerd stuff, okay, but it has infinite potential especially for children and for those suffering from nervous hunger.
Researchers from the University of London have developed it: the device can be inserted in cutlery, but also in some bowls, and without changing the nutritional values ​​of the food or polluting them in any way, it makes it possible to taste them sweet or more salty.
Logical, the effect is to be able to feed foods such as vegetables and healthy but bitter foods to those who have a “corrupted” palate by highly palatable foods., that is, appreciates snacks and snacks but not healthy foods. Unfortunately, however, unlike a food re-education that can help us change the taste and increase our insulin sensitivity making us more sensitive to the sweet or starchy taste, this device is a nice gadget but it risks becoming uneducative. In fact, the point is not to make vegetables like candy: the point is to educate yourself to a different flavor that breaks the addiction to highly palatable foods. If we get used to always having a sweet or salty taste, this could have an effect on our eating behavior.
