I'm thinking in build a iPhone app for get recipes. So, I'm looking for resources where I can get the data of that recipes in a way I can use in my app, store locally and/or query.
I'm interested in get nutrition facts, photos, etc... I understand that maybe I need to collect the data from several sources (like flickr photos?), but any starting point will be very useful.
The Food API uses Natural Language Processing and semantically structured data. Each search string you input in the API goes through Edamam's proprietary natural language analysis engine. Food entities are found and quantities are attached to them when available.
Nutrition.gov is a USDA-sponsored website that offers credible information to help you make healthful eating choices.
Open Food Facts API Open Food Facts API provides access to data and information on food products from around the world. Access extensive data on product ingredients, nutrition facts, allergens, additives, and search/filter by product or brand.
You can download the USDA database[1] here[2]. No photos, but lots of interesting data.
