As you head to the grocery store for your weekly food shopping, there are certain produce unknowns that can leave you wasting money on rotting food. But what if there was a portable, handheld device that allowed you to know the exact level of ripeness or sweetness of your next avocado or watermelon? Lucky for you, this new tech gadget can make that happen.

SCiO, which still has 33 days to go on Kickstarter, is already blowing its goal out of the water with over one million dollars backed. This device is a portable molecular sensor that counts the chemical makeup of a product, compiles its relevant information and allows its users to log, record or share the information with friends.

Basically, never again will you be standing there scratching your head over the ripeness of your favorite fruit or confused over the calorie count of your summertime smoothie. Their campaign also lists off these attributes of the SCiO: you can “Find out the quality of your cooking oil. Know the well being of your plants. Analyze soil or hydroponic solutions. Authenticate medications or supplements.” Bottom line: The applications you can utilize this device for are endless.

And if you’re aiming to lead a healthier lifestyle, consider this the next best way to count your macros. From prepared food to packaged goods, a simple scan will give you the chemical breakdown you need to stay on track and reach your goals. Here we are thinking our iPhone scanner and endless array of apps was innovative and fitness forward.

Clearly, technology is taking off — and with the plethora of health benefits this handheld offers, we’re sure SCiO will one day be in the palm of everyones hand, dieter or not.
