Blue Technology Prevents Fruits from Spoiling

— June 6, 2008 — Art & Design
Active Fresh Blue Technology is a concept being used in refrigerators to help increase the nutritional value and shelf life of vegetables and fruits. The device integrates utilized photosynthesis produced by LEDs with different colors.

Now the concept is being researched to be used in fruit bowls. The effect is expected to be similar to the results seen in Folio refrigerators. This way fruits can be left for longer period of time without spoiling too fast. As it's still in its experimental stage, there is no price or release date yet.

If this project becomes successful, it would really be worth buying. The blue bowl might not be able to preserve your fruits forever, but it will still let you enjoy them for longer.
