🍋 A Python package to process food

Pyfood is a simple Python package to process food, in different languages. Pyfood's ambition is to be the go-to library to deal with food, recipes, online menus or cookbooks.

Installation

Pyfood is intended to work with Python 3.6 or above. Installation can be done with pip:

pip install pyfood

Quickstart

At the core of Pyfood is the concept of a shelf embedded in a given region, a certain month_id and optionally a source language. You can load a shelf embedded in France in January with the following Python snippet:

from pyfood.utils import Shelf
shelf = Shelf(region='France', month_id=0)

Pyfood currently works in the following regions:

• Canada 🇨🇦
• EU 🇪🇺 (Europe, default)
• France 🇫🇷
• Germany 🇩🇪
• Israel 🇮🇱
• Italy 🇮🇹
• Japan 🇯🇵
• Portugal 🇵🇹
• Senegal 🇸🇳
• Spain 🇪🇸
• United Kingdom 🇬🇧

🍐 Label baskets or recipes

Pyfood can help automatically extract and label a list of ingredients, e.g., from a basket of food, a recipe, a menu, a cookbook or a website, with attributes/categories (e.g., fruits, vegetables) and labels (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, nutrition, seasonality), in a few lines of code:

results = shelf.process_ingredients(['apple','kiwi','sugar'])
results['labels'] # vegetarian, vegan, nutrition, seasonality

🍋 Translate ingredients

Pyfood comes with a vocabulary of more than 600 ingredients and synonymes, in multiple languages, and makes it easy to work with recipes in different languages or translate ingredients from a language to another one:

results = shelf.process_ingredients(['apple','kiwi','sugar'], lang_dest='FR')
results['food_list'] # pomme, kiwi, sucre

Pyfood currently supports the following languages:

• DE (German)
• EN (English)
• ES (Spanish)
• FR (French)
• IT (Italian)
• PT (Portuguese)
• UN (Universal, default)

🍓 What's in season?

Finally, Pyfood can also be used to simply query what fruits or vegetables are in season:

fruits_in_season = shelf.get_seasonal_food(key='001')
vegetables_in_season = shelf.get_seasonal_food(key='002')
