Ingredients in food are generally derived from particular plants or animals.
Last year, I scraped the first 90,000 foods in OFF API for the taxonomic species/genus/family name of ingredients for the phylogenetic food visualization at https://observablehq.com/@thadk/life https://observablehq.com/@thadk/life diagram (switch to "Fit to Size: Width" and "OpenFoodFacts Ingredients (first 90k)").
Unfortunately, only a small fraction had that property filled in.
Is there a better source for taxonomic names in foods? For instance, I don't see it in UM-NCC sample files.
- thadk 4y agoThanks, FooDB looks like a great start with 800 taxonomy scientific names of "foods": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31898218#31901803 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31898218#31901803 Open to any others too.
