1. A dynamic nutritional substance identification system comprising:
- sensors for sensing physical attributes of a nutritional substance; and
a library comprising datasets of the physical attributes referenced to known nutritional substances at known nutritional, organoleptic, and aesthetic states, whereinsensed physical attributes are compared with the datasets to determine a matching dataset; and
a consumer interface for communicating a dynamic nutritional value table responsive to the matching dataset.

14. A method for adaptively conditioning nutritional substances comprising the steps of:
-
sensing values corresponding to physical attributes of a nutritional substance; and detecting a consumer'"'"'s input regarding the nutritional substance; and comparing the values to a library comprising datasets of sensed physical attribute values referenced to known nutritional substances at known nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic states; and determining a matching dataset and corresponding nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic state; and providing an adaptive conditioning sequence responsive to the corresponding nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic state and the consumer'"'"'s input.
