SimilarFoods.org - Find Similar Foods
SimilarFoods.org lists similar foods, calculated with deep learning algorithms comparing up to over 100 nutrients, based on food nutrient and ingredient data published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The current dataset was published in April of 2024. It will be updated every 6 months. The site provides a facet of food information that is not otherwise available. It lets you source alternative foods with the same nutrient value, and possibly a better price or better availability. For now, we calculate nutrient similarity. We intend to add ingredient similarity in the future, which is difficult, because there is no standard naming of many ingredients.
