These Gadgets And Apps Will Change The Way We Eat

PERES claims to be the world's first portable "electronic nose." You just hover it over meat, chicken, or fish and it detects temperature, humidity, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds with four different sensors.

The information is then transmitted to a mobile app using Bluetooth. The app will recommend whether it is safe to cook and eat the product.

PERES is raising funding on IndieGogo, but it has already surpassed its goal of $50,000. You can order a beta version of the device for $89 on the IndieGogo page.

The lighting of the fridge also adheres to more energy-efficient Energy Star requirements.

You can get one of these fridges for $2,999 online or in some brick-and-mortar stores.

You can preorder the SCiO for $249, but it is not expected to ship until March 2015.

Get ready for the next generation of fitness trackers, a trend that has exploded in the last couple of years.
