Scope: which foods are covered?
The atlas focuses on foods likely to end up in your kitchen: fruit, vegetables, grains, pulses, the meat and dairy group, nuts and commonly eaten packaged categories. Each record gives a general description of the food, its energy and core nutrient values, practical kitchen notes and, where relevant, the points to watch. The collection grows over time; you can suggest foods you find missing through the Support Centre.
How the filters work
You can narrow the records by food group, or sift them by prominent characteristics such as protein-heavy, a source of fibre, or plant-based. The filter logic is designed less like a search engine and more like a library shelf: you go to the right shelf first, then browse within it. So when you arrive with a real need such as "I need a pulse for tonight", a few clicks put your options in front of you.
Reading the values
The numbers in the records are estimates based on averages; the same apple varies with variety, growing conditions and size. Values are mostly given per 100 g, so remember to convert them to your own portion. These values are not a diet plan; for nutrition decisions that affect your health, seek support from a dietitian or doctor. For concepts such as label reading and energy balance, the Nutrition section offers good grounding.
