Food shopping didn’t used to seem so complicated. Organic or conventional or locally produced? When you’ve become the nutritional gatekeeper for the family, these decisions can be stressful. After all, country of origin labeling can help you determine an avocado’s food miles, but do you know when avocado season is?
Locavore, available in the iTunes store, uses government and nonprofit data to show what foods are in season in each state, and the apps uses the phone's wifi connection to find nearby farmer’s markets. If that’s not handy enough, ingredients link to Wikipedia pages and recipes from Epicurious. And the cost of this handheld key to local food? $2.99.
