Silo containers are not only the sleekest food storage they are also the smartest. Silo offers on its campaign a vacuum machine base, which you leave on your kitchen counter, and variant size containers. All you need to do is to place the container on the base, press it down and in less than a minute, you got yourself a perfectly vacuum-sealed container.
The price on Kickstarter starting at $169 for four containers and a base.
Box ensemble can be used to store a range of fresh food items like strawberries, leftovers such salads and pasta and coffee beans to keep their full flavor.
These genius containers include Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa, which is connected to the Silo app. Alexa identifies the product placed inside and tells users when its time to throw food away, and even updates a user’s shopping list when items near expiry.
One-third of the food gets thrown out or wasted, which amount to about 1.3 billion tonnes. Silo’s founder CEO, Tal Lapidot who says in the promotional video he came up with the idea after he grew tired of continuously throwing out spoiled food.
