Seems it can only find highly processed foods.
It seems that the App only uses OpenFoodFacts as a Data source which by Design only supports packaged foods.
For unprocessed foods we would need to add a second Data source.
The Swiss Government seem to provide one with unprocessed foods for free (but you need to give attribution)
Maybe there are better ones out there, the OpenFoodFacts Article links to multiple Data Collections.
To access the Us Goverment Database is a good idea. Therefore the input of the idivudial API KEY has to be implemented.
Both the Swiss Food Composition Database and the USDA FoodData Central allow you to download and embed their data. I propose including the generic food items of both directly in the app (very small size), which is easier than using the API.
Edit: The app already uses the USDA FoodData Central API (code). However it seems to not contain all entries? For example it does not list "Acerola juice, raw" when searching for "acerola".
@ErfolgreichCharismatisch I'd appreciate if you could reopen the issue as the original problem still exists. You can unsubscribe on the right-hand side if you don't want to get updates.
