RipenLab Produce Guide
RipenLab Produce Guide
RipenLab Produce Guide is an offline ripeness and storage workbench for home cooks, small produce-stand sellers, culinary students and food-waste-conscious households. It replaces vague "keep in a cool dark place" advice with a model you can actually play with: choose one of 120 seeded produce items, place it in a storage zone at a temperature you pick, with or without ethylene neighbours, then scrub a day slider and watch its ripeness curve, ready window and spoilage point move in real time. Around that simulator sit a bin-compatibility board that flags ethylene and strong-odor conflicts between items sharing a drawer, a Vision-powered PLU sticker reader that jumps straight to the right profile, a prep bench that rescales brine, blanching and freezing amounts to whatever weight you enter, a 12-month season chart for up to six items, and a market-day plan that exports as a printable packing sheet with an eat-first order. Everything ships fully seeded, works with no account and no network, keeps state locally with SwiftData, and has no subscription, no paywall and no advertising.

Highlights

Ripen Lab simulator: pick any produce item, set the storage spot (counter bowl, crisper drawer, paper bag, cold room), choose a temperature from 1–25 °C and switch ethylene exposure on or off, then scrub a day slider to move a ripeness curve showing days-to-ready, the shaded ready window and the spoilage point.
Bin Builder: drag items into four storage zones …
Bin Builder: drag items into four storage zones and get live conflict flags when an ethylene producer sits beside an ethylene-sensitive neighbour or a strong-odor item sits next to a taint-prone one, each flag offering a one-tap better zone.
PLU Sticker Scanner: aim the camera at a produce…
PLU Sticker Scanner: aim the camera at a produce sticker and read the 4–5 digit PLU code with Vision text recognition to open the matching profile instantly, with a typed-code keypad fallback and a photos-import path when the camera is unavailable.
Prep & Preserve Bench: for any item get step tim…
Prep & Preserve Bench: for any item get step timings for blanching, freezing, oven drying and quick-pickling, plus a brine scaler that recomputes salt, sugar, vinegar and water from the exact weight you enter and shows a scaled jar-fill estimate.
Season Chart: compare up to six items on a 12-mo…
Season Chart: compare up to six items on a 12-month band chart with peak weeks, shoulder weeks and import-only weeks, switchable between northern and southern hemisphere and between four growing-region presets.
Produce Library: search and filter 120 seeded it…
Produce Library: search and filter 120 seeded items by season month, storage zone, ethylene class, prep method, ripeness stage and PLU code, with illustrated ripeness stages, storage-life days at each temperature band and pairing notes for each entry.
