Smart a la carte: high-tech for your food —
When a label is not enough
Have you ever suspected that your locally-sourced, 100% organic pomegranate might actually have come in contact with synthetic fertilizers?
If you're on the hunt for fake organic produce, the Lapka probe might have the answers you need.
Fertilizers leave behind a trace in the form of nitrates, which the probe can detect: connect the cord to a smartphone, stick the pointy end into your greens, and the verdict will soon come.
The Lapka is actually a multi-sensor device that can also detect radiation, electromagnetic fields and humidity. The full set sells for $250, the individual sensors for $80 each.
