HOW IT WORKS
Simply type in any dish — or snap a photo of a restaurant menu — and ChuGuru enlightens you with comprehensive data:
Nutritional profile: See calories, protein, carbs, fats, sugars, salt, fibre, saturated fat, vitamins and minerals and more — graded A to E for an at-a-glance view of how healthy a dish is. This is your personal food nutrition calculator and dietary analysis tool.
Planet footprint: Understand the environmental impact with detailed insights on carbon emissions, water use, land use, and ecotoxicity — powered by life cycle assessment (LCA) data. Know the true environmental cost of what you eat and track your food carbon footprint.
Ingredient breakdown: Get an estimated list of ingredients and quantities, matched against scientific food composition databases.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YOUR FOOD INSIGHTS
