I work in a greengrocer's, will we need a Kibble balance after the kilogram vote next week?
And if so, how does it work? Can we put carrots on it?

It defines an amount of mass in terms of Planck's constant h, rather than the arbitrary and changing lumping metal in Paris. The kibble balance is just a fancy current balance you get in most undergrad lab courses.
