Pyfood: 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 works in the following region by default EU (Europe), which includes France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom. Support for Canada, Israel, Japan and Senegal is also provided

🍐 Label baskets or recipes

In a few lines of code, Pyfood can help automatically extract, translate, label a list of ingredients, e.g., from a basket of food, a recipe, a menu, a cookbook or a webapp, with multiple labels, e.g., vegetarian, vegan, nutrition and seasonality:

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['ingredients_by_taxon'] # [[pomme, kiwi], [sucre]]

Pyfood supports the following language by default UN (Universal), which includes DE (German), EN (English), ES (Spanish). FR (French), IT (Italian), PT (Portuguese)

🍓 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')
