Upload a photo of a dish, fruit, ingredient or menu, or type a food’s name. Food Says Hi returns a cautious field note: a likely match, visible clues, how it is commonly eaten and, when the portion allows, a rough nutrition range.
From a photo to a field note, with you in control of when anything is sent.
