A few friends of mine built something similar. Loaded the USDA nutrition database in a dropdown, and scaled 24 vitamins, nutrients, calories, etc by recommended daily intake:

Many people have told me an added layer of discovering foods with particular nutritional qualities (filtering, sorting) would be very appealing. A recommendation engine for food.
If you're looking to hack on the dataset, check out this JSON version:

- andreyon 15y agowow, that's really cool! can they make a side by side comparator? it doesn't have to actually compare, can be just another frame ( or frames) where I can select the same and do the comparison myself. For example I want to see the differences in raw broccoli and steamed broccoli.
