Food Secrets Version 5 — recipe search, food comparison & scientific references

With Version 5, Food Secrets takes a big step forward: a reworked architecture, improved security and several new features that help you make well-founded decisions about your nutrition — from direct food comparison to scientific references at the touch of a button.

Food Secrets app Version 5: recipe search, food comparison and scientific references

Improved recipe search

The recipe search has been completely reworked. You now find the right recipes for your health goal even faster — whether strengthen your immune system, eat anti-inflammatory or build muscle. The results are intelligently sorted and based on our scientific ranking system with over 1000 evaluated studies.

Food comparison & detail page

New: compare foods directly. Select two or more foods and see at a glance which one fits your goal better — with over 80 key features in the comparison table. The rankings themselves are based on over 150 factors covering all essential nutrients and phytonutrients. The new detail page shows you everything important: nutrients, rankings, season, allergens and phytonutrients.

Share recipes & insights

Share your favourite recipes and nutrition insights directly from the app now — via WhatsApp, email or social media. That way you inspire friends and family to a healthier diet, without any finger-wagging.

Every nutrition tip in Food Secrets is based on scientific studies — and now you can view the original sources with one tap. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews and meta-analyses: transparency you can trust.

No claims without evidence. No marketing promises. Just science you can verify.

Architecture & security

Food Secrets Version 6 — AI recipe import, recipe scanner & smart features

You browse a cookbook, find the perfect recipe — and laboriously type it out? You're standing in the supermarket searching for the ingredients all over the place? That's history from now on. With Food Secrets Version 6 we bring you four new features that make your everyday nutrition genuinely easier — from recipe discovery to the shopping list.

Food Secrets Version 6 new features: AI recipe import and smart shopping list

AI recipe import — any recipe in your app

You find a great recipe on a food website or blog? Just copy the link and paste it into Food Secrets — our AI automatically recognises ingredients, amounts and preparation steps. The import works with recipe pages and delivers a high success rate.

What's special: every imported recipe is instantly linked to our extensive food and nutrient database. You see the most important nutrients per ingredient at a glance — and with one tap you can add all ingredients to the shopping list or, with another tap, create a meal plan.

AI recipe scanner — from the cookbook straight into the app

Not every recipe is online. That's why we developed the AI recipe scanner: simply photograph the recipe page from your cookbook or a magazine — the app recognises the text and imports the recipe automatically. Multi-page recipes are supported too — just photograph all the pages one after another.

Scanned recipes are also fully linked to the nutrient database. So your favourite cookbook recipes become digital, analysed recipes with all the app features — including nutrient analysis, shopping list and meal planning.

Smart shopping list — intelligently sorted by aisle

The shopping list has always been one of Food Secrets' most popular features. In Version 6 it gets even better: all ingredients are now automatically sorted by supermarket aisle — fruit & veg, dairy, spices, frozen and more.

That saves time and nerves while shopping. No more zigzagging through the store, no more forgetting ingredients in the wrong corner. Simply pick a recipe, tap „Add to shopping list“ — and all ingredients are sorted and ready with one click.

Whether you want to strengthen your immune system, eat anti-inflammatory or lose weight — the app shows you the best seasonal recipes that fit your goal exactly. So you eat not only fresher and cheaper, but also healthier.
