    Simplifying Nutritional Information For Everyone

    Finding nutritional information has become simpler in recent years – but it is still not necessarily easy, especially if you want accuracy and you need information on a regular basis. Most solutions are difficult to use and suffer from questionable reliability. Restaurants, chefs, nutritionists, businesses and even individuals who want to plan healthy meals need something better.

    With a vast nutritional database and smart algorithms, Edamam offers a more natural way to eat healthily. Edamam simplifies finding the nutrition of meals and foods and puts cutting-edge nutritional analysis technology at everyone’s fingertips.

    Five Ways Edamam Makes Nutrition Easy

    1. Edamam’s Nutrition Wizard uses the latest tech to make nutritional info accessible.

    When Edamam founder Victor Penev started searching for a way to combine his technological know-how with his passion for healthy food, he quickly discovered the challenges people face in getting accurate nutritional information about what they ate.

    Edamam’s Nutrition Wizard was the result of Penev’s efforts. The Nutrition Wizard is a powerful tool available online and as an app providing go-to nutritional analysis tool for users who want to know exact nutritional information of recipes and foods. It is available in four versions, ranging from Free to Pro. The Nutrition Wizard is the most powerful nutritional analysis tool available today.

    Restaurants can use Edamam’s Nutrition Wizard Pro service ($22.95) to analyze menus quickly and accurately, generating nutritional information and allowing the option of noting all allergens to keep customers informed. Instead of needing to hire a nutritionist to analyze each recipe, or slogging through clunky online databases searching for every ingredient, chefs, management and owners can copy and paste ingredients lists or type them in to get back all the relevant data necessary to build menus.

    For dietitians and nutritionists who need a little less robust solution, Edamam offers Nutrition Wizard Plus ($11.95/month). Users can save recipes, print nutrition labels, and export data into all major formats, including PDF, Excel, and CSV.

    2. Edamam offers sophisticated nutritional tools for professionals and businesses.

    Edamam’s nutritional analysis solutions are appropriate for every business interested in accurate nutrition information – restaurants, chefs, nutritionists, diet planning programs and more – and is used by such leading recipes websites as Epicurious, New York Times Cooking and America’s Test Kitchen..

    3. Edamam delivers robust nutritional tools to consumers.

    A healthy lifestyle is more accessible when consumers have the information they need to plan their diets. Edamam gives you access to the same database used by professionals and businesses, available through a well-designed app or the Edamam website. And if you just need calorie tracking, the Nutrition Wizard Free version can process calorie counts and basic nutrient profiles in seconds – while also providing the tools for tracking calories day to day.

    If you are looking for personal diet management, Edamam offers the Nutrition Wizard Basic ($5.95/month), which not only helps track calories but also provides information on over 25 nutrients – including all macronutrients and most micronutrients, as well as information on allergens and ingredients of concern for all major diets.

    4. Edamam can help you find the perfect recipe.

    The Edamam site also offers a recipe finder for anyone who wants to find a recipe based on specific nutrient, diet, allergen or health needs by pulling from an extensive database of over 2 million recipes. The recipe finder includes recipes from all the favorite recipe sites and provides nutritional information on each recipe – including macronutrients, micronutrients, calories, popular diets that the recipe is appropriate for and allergens.

    5. Edamam ensures you get the most accurate nutritional Information.

    The world of diet and nutrition can be confusing and overwhelming. Edamam strives to cut through the noise to provide accurate, accessible nutritional information that serves everyone’s dietary needs. Whether you are a chef trying out new recipes for a menu, a dietitian working with employees of a small business, or an individual wanting to avoid specific ingredients – low-carb, paleo, vegan, gluten-free, etc. – Edamam has you covered.
