So, I did this personal project a couple of years ago where I downloaded a big recipe database and then did a bunch of parsing / cleaning code to reduce each recipe down into a list of ingredients... Then I did an analysis of the ingredients to determine which were the most effective ingredients (frequently used in recipes) as it occurred to me that that this could be used to create a shopping list that enabled the most home cooking. The resulting list was ingredient list was fascinating... Salt & Oil were right at the top. Anyway, you might want to steer peoples shopping in the direction that enables the most meals for them.

That sounds very cool! Did you share this list by any chance? I'm interested to stock up on some "efficient" products for the times that I'm not meal-planning but want to quickly whip something together.
