These fresh food technologies will completely change your dining experience, be it at home or out at a restaurant.
Many of these technologies will completely diminish the possibility of eating something that has gone bad. Companies are creating products that can monitor the freshness of your food on your plate, or the food in your fridge. Take the iFresh system as an example; the fridge add-on keeps you up-to-date on the declining quality of the groceries within your fridge.
Along with freshness-keeping devices, companies are adhering to the surge of health conscience consumers that arose from the obesity epidemic and are creating tools that allow fresh food to be made with more ease. For example, the Anova Precision Cooker allows you to control it through your iPhone, so you can get work done and cooking a fresh simultaneously!
