1. Navigate to the "Food Data" Tab

   • Click on the "Food Data" tab.

   • Select "Create Food" at the top right corner.

     Enter Nutrition Data

   • Fill in the following fields to create a new ingredient:
     • Name
     • Total Energy
     • Total Protein (g)
     • Total Carbohydrates (g)
     • Total Fat (g)

Finding Your New Foods and Ingredients

• All new ingredients you create are stored in a separate database collection accessible only to your team and clients.
• New ingredients will be available in the "Food Databases" tab and the "Add Ingredients" section on the Create Custom Recipe page.

Using Your New Ingredients

• Add to Recipes

• When adding ingredients to your custom recipe, select your company name (e.g., "Foodzilla") from the ingredient database list.
• Start searching for your new ingredient.

Example: After creating an ingredient called "chicken drums," you can find it by searching in the Food Data tab and selecting "your company name" from the database list. Easy as that!

By following these steps, you can effortlessly create and utilize new ingredients in your recipes, ensuring your database is comprehensive and tailored to your needs. 🥳
