About

Foodashi is a recipe and nutrition data API for developers. I built it because most food APIs return scraped text, guessed calories, and empty allergen fields. Foodashi turns a dish name into a full, structured recipe: real ingredients, nutrition computed from 11 official databases, EU allergen flags, dietary tags, a taste profile, and a quality grade. Every recipe is verified and either passes every check or gets discarded. White-label, with a free tier of 10,000 requests a month. Built for anyone making meal planners, nutrition trackers, or grocery and recipe apps.

Every recipe & nutrition API I tried was too expensive or too messy. So I'm fixing it.

Hey all building in public here.

I kept hitting the same wall: I wanted recipe and nutrition data for a project, and every API was either priced for funded companies or gave me inconsistent, half-complete data. Some recipes had no image, some had a bad one, some were missing descriptions or whole fields. I'd pay for it and then burn a weekend cleaning it up.

So I started building Foodashi: a recipe and nutrition API where every recipe is complete and consistent. You send a dish name and get back real ingredients, nutrition computed from 11 official food databases, EU-14 allergen flags, dietary tags, a taste profile, a quality score, and a photo. If a recipe doesn't pass every check, it gets discarded instead of shipped. And where a nutrition value is estimated rather than measured, I flag it instead of pretending it's exact.

What I keep noticing: everyone is building food, health, and recipe apps right now, mostly with AI assistants, and they all hit the same data wall I did. So I'm building the affordable, consistent option for exactly that wave.

Foodashi - The Recipe & Nutrition API

Other recipe APIs are pricey and inconsistent. Some recipes have no image or a bad one, some are missing a description or have gaps in the data. Foodashi gives you complete, consistent data for every recipe: a real photo, a description, ingredients, nutrition, EU-14 allergen flags, dietary tags, a taste profile, and a NutriMetric A to F score. Nutrition is computed from 11 official databases, and any value not found there is clearly flagged as estimated. Affordable, white-label, free tier.

What's the messiest folder on your computer right now?

For me, it's usually Downloads.

Thousands of screenshots, random PDFs, ZIP files, invoices, images, and files named things like:
