The lack of interest in fruit and vegetables especially by young and very young people, the need to propose new strategies to improve the attractiveness of fruit and vegetables and a market analysis that highlighted the lack of appliances suitable for independent use by children led to the development of Filo. A blender based on an alternative system for blending fruit that eliminates conventional blades in favour of a wire cutting system. The head, made of flexible, small diameter nylon threads, is safe to handle and easy to clean.
