# Fruit Refresher Pods Eat Healthy All the Time with the Portable ‘Cup Fruilad' By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-fruilad References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/cup-fruilad-lets-you-eat-healthy-anywhere-anytime/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_file.asp?individual_id=268519&portfolio_id=2533436&specialty=4&is_featured=-1&c=1&) Having just found a container of moldy fruit in my fridge, I couldn’t be more excited to talk about the Cup Fruilad. The Cup Fruilad is a cheeky, [portable container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-market-tote) that [keeps your fruit and salad fresh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodtusker) for a longer period of time. Designer Roger Ofner created the Cup Fruilad with an intelligent refresher system that recognizes the food you put in, thus keeping it at an appropriate temperature to preserve its nutrition and freshness. Powered by a USB source, it also features a special button that can make laser cuts to slice or peel the fruits and veggies in the pod. Super neat, but I wish I knew about this sooner! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Intelligent Food Containers:** The trend of intelligent food containers presents an opportunity for innovative solutions that preserve food freshness and nutrition. - **Portable Food Preservation:** The trend of portable food preservation devices opens up possibilities for convenient ways to keep food fresh for longer periods. - **Smart Kitchen Appliances:** The trend of smart kitchen appliances allows for the creation of innovative devices that enhance food storage and preparation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Storage:** The food storage industry could explore disruptive innovations that combine technology and design to create intelligent containers for preserving food. - **Consumer Electronics:** In the consumer electronics industry, there is an opportunity to develop portable food preservation devices that use smart technology. - **Kitchen Appliances:** The kitchen appliances industry can capitalize on the trend by creating smart appliances that improve food storage and preparation techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green Produce-Preserving Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshworks-produce-saver.md) - [Ultraviolet Food Storage Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolet-food-storage.md) - [Food Freshness-Increasing Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-preserver.md) - [Snackable Berry Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitist-snack-cups.md) - [Minimalist Kitchen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-fresher.md) - [Vacuum-Powered Food Processing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-food-processor.md) - [Smart Fridge Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelfy.md) - [Food-Disinfecting Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countertop-food-storage-device.md) - [Chemical-Free Produce Sterilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-food-cleaner.md)
