The Indian Food Composition tables (IFCT 2017) provides nutritional values for 528 key foods.
📦 Node.js,
📜 Files.
Food composition values were measured by National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad. Shown below is a text-query JavaScript API for search information through these tables. You may also add these to a database for more control over the query.
Online database: ifct2017.github.io.
