BRIX Meters

2010 - Nutrimeter I

Why called a NutriMeter?

Apparently we were the first to use BRIX Readings and Ratings in our "Fresh Produce and Organics" store in Trentham, Victoria, Australia in 2010.

Some 4 years later, in 2014, Whole Foods in the USA claimed they were first in the world to do the same.

Consumers had never heard of a BRIX meter, and so we explained who Dr. Brix was, and that BRIX optical graduations had been regarded as the best 'objective' measure of produce quality for past 200 years by Food Scientists and Health Authorities.

They then said "You cannot call it a BRIX meter as a new cafe' called BRIX had just opened in Melbourne. Why not call it a Nutri Meter, as that is what it does!"

NutriMeter and NDI (Nutrient Density Indices) are now Trade Marked in Australia!

Since 2001, we have been nutrient dense farmers, getting higher prices for nutrient dense (delicious, nutritious) produce.

We measured nutrient density with a BRIX meter, which has been used by Australia farmers for past 80 years to improve produce quality, when to pick the grapes for wine making, etc.

Balancing your diet, your RNI (Recommended Nutrient Intake)

In 2008, for personal health reasons, we developed the NutriScale (with Mobile scale as indicated above.

But capturing everything you eat to get "alerts" when fall below certain levels, was too tedious.

So, in 2019, we developed a "Spot Check" module in the FindGoodFood system, allowing you to periodically check your and/or your households' RNI, as and when circumstances changed, like kids growing up or leaving home .

First Spectrometer in 2017.

We used SCiO's (see in hand in top right hand corner of pic) and BRIX meters in collecting the BRIX Readings and Ratings of 450 varieties of produce availalble in ANZ.

Agrocares Soil Scanner - 2018.

We used it mainly to measure Carbon Content, anywhere in Australia, in a fast and inexpensive service.

However, if the soil was pre-calibrated, it could then :

advise what is best to grow in your soil, or
what nutrients were needed to add to the soil, if you insisted on growing potatoes, or any other crop.
