It guides you to eat in-line with the USDA’s dietary recommendations (MyPlate) by allowing for two fruits or veggies, one protein and one starch – all in reasonable portions. This one is definitely a keeper if you’re still struggling to eyeball healthy portions at mealtime.

The website claims that this invention can extend the life of your produce by up to 3x by absorbing troublesome ethylene gas.
