Curious how healthy a recipe is? Say Mmm has your answer.
We are happy to announce a new feature, unique to Say Mmm, that will estimate nutritional information for any recipe. All you have to do is copy and paste the list of ingredients or the link to the online recipe. Say Mmm will not only show you nutritional and daily percentage estimates, but also visually display which ingredients contribute the most to the calories.
Some places online have nutritional information for their own recipes, but Say Mmm is the first site where you can just enter a URL or list of ingredients and get nutritional information for recipes from anywhere. There are a number of challenges in translating natural language recipes into nutritional estimates, and we have combined recipe and shopping list data from tens of thousands of Say Mmm users with nutrition facts from the USDA. It isn’t perfect, so we don’t recommend it for people following strict diets, but we think it works pretty well for getting a close estimate in the vast majority of cases. And the more people use it, the better it will get. Stay tuned for more.
For bloggers, you can share organized shopping lists with nutritional information for your recipes just by adding a link. See how easy it is here.
