Zestful sounds like a feature of Edamam (https://developer.edamam.com/ https://developer.edamam.com/). I think the market is not in parsing, but extracting nut

  Yeah, Edamam probably does something similar to what I was doing. The project kind of came out of me needing ingredient parsing for a different product and existing solutions being a poor match. Edamam requires you to display their logo in your app if you use their API[0], which I found inappropriately intrusive. There's a similar service called Spoonacular, but they don't allow you to store results for more than an hour[1], which is crazy. I wanted to build a search index that let users search by ingredient, so it made no sense for me to reprocess my entire corpus of data every hourly. But they succeeded and I didn't, so maybe the weird API terms are what they need to survive.
