Imagine if getting your daily dose of fresh vegetables was as easy as grabbing a snack or a drink from a vending machine.

One Israeli startup is working on making that a reality, developing a specialized vending machine that grows a variety of high-quality, nutritious leafy greens inside it, and in less time than it takes in a field.

The vending machines created by replantin' grow individual plants inside them, each placed as a seed within a proprietary pod about the size of a coffee capsule, which provides all the nutrients it needs to grow.

The vending machine called the Produce Integrated Cultivation Instrument (PICI), contains multiple shelves, each holding a different type of vegetable, allowing for the varying conditions the plants need to grow.
