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.

You can derive it from the fact that there's no feasible way to get such uniform (and cute) image data for every food item.

Though I want to add that this is a good application of AI image gen since the images are useful for quick visual confirmation that the item is in the same ballpark of the thing that you think it is.
