  Salt is consumed at too high levels in the general population, causing high
blood pressure and related health problems. In this paper, we present results
of ongoing research that tries to reduce salt intake via technology and in
particular from an interface perspective. In detail, this paper features
results of a study that examines the extent to which visual and textual
explanations in a search interface can change salty food preferences. An online
user study with 200 participants demonstrates that this is possible in food
search results by accompanying recipes with a visual taste map that includes
salt-replacer herbs and spices in the calculation of salty taste.
