The Nutrition Wizard: Know What You Eat
Have you found yourself finishing a salad and thinking “I wonder how many calories was in that?” Of course, you have. And what do you do? Do you call your uncle’s wife who is a professional nutritionist and explain to her in detail what was in the salad, so she can give you a ballpark estimate. Of course not. You remain clueless.

Wouldn’t it be cool then if you can take out your phone, type the ingredients or dictate them and find the answer then and there.

This is what we have in store for you!

We call it the Nutrition Wizard and its magic is to provide detailed and reliable nutrition analysis of any recipe or ingredient list in less than a second.

It is live on our website and is being used by dietitians, restaurants and health nuts alike. Oh, and the same technology powers nutrition for Epicurious, The New York Times Cooking and General Mills’ recipe sites to name a few. (logos of customers)

Now we are bringing this awesome magic to your mobile phone. We have already designed the Nutrition Wizard App for both iOS and Android and have commissioned developers to build it. (screenshots of NW design)

Check out what it can do:

• It will recognize natural language, so all you have to do is type or speak the way you normally do to get the nutrition analysis – bye bye drop down menus and clunky interfaces
• It will provide you with detailed nutrition data for 25+ nutrients: calories, fat, carbs, protein, minerals and vitamins
• It will tell you if the recipe you’ve analyzed is appropriate for a wide range of popular diets, such as paleo, low-sodium or gluten-free to name a few
• It can calculate what percent of your personal allowed daily value of each nutrient you have consumed

Awesome and magical, right?!

And, this is where you come in. To build the app, we need $$$. Hence, the campaign.

So, if you care about eating healthy and people making smart and informed food choices, please CONTRIBUTE now and help us build the app that will bring the magic of real time nutrition analysis to everyone.

The founder in his own words
Hi, food lovers!

My name is Victor Penev and I am a serial entrepreneur, who has built successful businesses before, including Bulgaria’s largest Internet company. Edamam is the love child of my twin passions for food and technology and it was born out of the desire to help people eat better.

I truly believe that technology has the power to change lives and if use it in the right way, we will make the world a better place.

I am an obsessive cook and constantly try new recipes and ingredients. I have a deeply rooted curiosity about food, its origins, health benefits and ways to prepare it. And, I am under the spell of the kitchen magic with its waft of fragrances, the panoply of colors and textures and the alchemy of turning a few simple ingredients into a transcending experience.

You can say I LOVE cooking. I also LOVE what I do at Edamam and urge you to join us on the journey to build a better world through better food.

THANK YOU!
