Many people suffer from severe peanut allergies. For some, accidentally ingesting nuts can have dire consequences. Now, there is a portable device that can detect if a food item contains peanuts. The Nimasensor works like a chemistry lab on the go. Say you are unsure if a cupcake was made with any traces of nuts. With the Nimasensor, you can rip off a tiny piece, place it in the capsule of the device, and wait for it to scan.

The device is totally child-friendly. "You see a smiley face if it's peanut free. You'll see a peanut icon if peanut was detected in the sample," the designer of the product told NowThis. The entire detection process takes about three minutes, so you can spend more time eating, and less time worrying about your allergies. For people who suffer from this condition, the Nimasensor is a revolution.

Dine without fear with this incredible advancement in allergy prevention. The company also has a similar product for gluten detection. You can check out the Nimasensor website here.
