I have been looking for something like this! I really like the interface. I wish I could click on the picture to enlarge it, so I can confirm that what I am looking for is what I am looking at. For example, we use 3-4 types of lentils and I am not sure if "brown lentil" in the database is the same brown lentil I have at home. I also really liked that I was able to search for "masoor" and the results showed red lentils; often I don't know the English name for something so it's hard to search.

Also, there is an error on this page for me: https://www.opennutrition.app/search?search=Goya

Thank you so much for checking out the project and the bug report. The dataset includes alternate names for each of the non-branded grocery products and those are indexed into the Go-based prefix & full-word search engine that I wrote to answer queries. Sometimes they can be a bit over-prioritized in the search experience, but, I'd still rather have them :)

You want to enlarge an ai generated image to know if it matches what you have at home ?

I guess I missed where they mentioned their images are AI generated. I assumed they were being pulled from some database.
