Project Description

Nutrient Intake is a series of experiments in understanding the food we eat. We joined the USDA, FDA and NiH’s data sets to explore the nutrient content of popular foods and their impact on your recommended daily intakes [RDI]. You can use these experiments to know more about the food choices you make. Our data connects nutrient volumes in food, your RDI of those nutrients, and the health benefits of those nutrients – data previously splintered by government and agricultural organizations.

Our next steps are to turn these experiments into a mobile application that can be used on the go, and to open source our data to be publicly accessible.
