Check the 45 essential nutrition value by the name of foods or entering PLU.

Users can check the nutrition value by the name of foods or entering PLU (Price Lookup Codes). The PLU code is a 4 or 5 digits barcode. It can be found on fruits and vegetables at the grocery stores. The nutrition information comes from USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). There are 45 essential nutrition elements at the database.

By typing the beginning letters, users can pick the item they are looking for. For example, app will bring up apple, blue will bring up blueberry. “Nutrition Fact” will show an indicator (a star) beside the nutrition value in this item that is higher compared with other fruits/vegetables. Users can tap the “Top” button to get the sorted food list by the selected nutrition. Users can tap the unit button to get standard measures (cups, spoons, portions, etc) for the selected food.
