We need more data (ingredients). The best source is the Internet. Build scrapers that could crawl websites and collect ingredients of respective food products.

You can use Scrapy or any other web scraping tool of your choice.

Hey @Tushar98644

This task is related to webscraping. I would prefer using Scrapy for this task. You can choose a grocery website (Bigbasket, Dunzo etc.) and scrape data of a few food items and their respective ingredients and store them in item-containers.

Please feel free to ask any further queries on discord channel or here itself. I will be available anywhere.
