What it does

From cookbook photo to micronutrient panel

Most meals are cooked from recipes, not from barcodes. MineralPlate starts where you start — with the recipe in front of you.

  1. 01

    You photograph the recipe

    Cookbook page, handwritten card, magazine clipping or PDF — one photo or several.

  2. 02

    We read and match

    Each ingredient is read from the photo and matched to government-maintained nutrition databases.

  3. 03

    You read the panel

    Full vitamin and mineral breakdown per serving, with %DV calculated for your age and sex.

The ingredients of MineralPlate

Four things working together

Photo-first recipe reading

Snap a cookbook page, a handwritten card, a magazine clipping or a PDF. MineralPlate reads the ingredient list straight from the picture — no typing, no copy-pasting.

Professionally maintained data

Every ingredient is matched to USDA FoodData Central and the Canadian Nutrient File — databases maintained by government scientists, never crowd-sourced entries of unknown quality.

A panel built for micronutrients

Vitamins A through K, the B-complex, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium — with %DV tuned to your age and sex using Health Canada daily values.

A library that adds up

Save scanned recipes and log servings to your intake log, so your daily totals reflect what you actually cooked and ate — not what you estimated.

Why MineralPlate

Why it's different from other nutrition apps

Most nutrition apps were built to count calories and manage weight. Micronutrients were an afterthought — if they appear at all. MineralPlate was built the other way around.

  • Micronutrients buried under calories

    Vitamins and minerals are the headline, not a footnote

  • User-submitted food entries of unknown quality

    Only USDA FoodData Central and the Canadian Nutrient File

  • One-size-fits-all %DV numbers

    Daily values tuned to your age and sex

  • Typing every ingredient by hand

    One photo of the recipe does the work
