Nutrition
Capseta is the digital cooking assistant that calculates nutrition for your own recipes: from cookbooks, websites, or family heirlooms. When your needs change, you can see what’s in the dishes you already make and decide what to change, instead of starting over with recipes someone else picked.
Per serving
Save a recipe from anywhere, and Capseta works out its nutrition from the ingredient list. Your grandmother’s soup gets the same treatment as a recipe from a website: calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, sodium, and 11 more nutrients, per serving.
Every nutrition figure is an estimate, from an app, a cookbook, or a label. Open “See how we calculated this” on any recipe to see how ours was made.
A recipe is a starting point. Your kitchen isn’t the recipe writer’s, so Capseta lets you tell it what you actually do.
If a match isn’t the food you buy, tap “Correct this match.” Search the foods we know, USDA records, or branded products, or scan the barcode on the package.
When a recipe says “vegetable or chicken broth,” choose the one you used.
Tell us which salt is in your cupboard, and how much salt you add at the end, per serving.
When a recipe dredges in flour, tell us how much ends up on the food.
Swap an ingredient or cut an amount, and the figures follow.
Cut the dish differently or ate a smaller portion? Change the servings in the nutrition panel. The recipe itself doesn’t change.
Your answers about salt and what “a bunch” means are used across your whole library. They change only your own figures, never anyone else’s.
Pick a nutrient under “What adds to each figure,” and the ingredients line up by how much they add. If a soup’s sodium is higher than you’d like, you can see whether it comes from the broth, the soy sauce, or the salt, and decide which one to change. Make the change, and see what it does to the figure.
Choose up to six nutrients to show first on every recipe, in the order you want. The rest are one tap away.
Per serving: 462 mg, 359 mg, and 298 mg.
Nutrition Lab
Open Nutrition Lab from any recipe to see what a change would do. Swap an ingredient, use less of something, or add one, and every figure per serving updates beside the recipe as written.
Common swaps are a tap away, like chicken breast for thighs or quinoa for rice. Or search for any food or brand, or scan its barcode. Trying a change doesn’t edit your recipe. If you like the result, save it as a new version, with a link back to the original.
Many recipe sites and apps show one set of numbers with no sources and no way to change them. The figures may be fine, but you can’t see how they were made. Even packaged-food labels have leeway: in the US, calories, sugars, fat, and sodium can run up to 20% over the label, and EU guidance allows about 20% either way for many nutrients. Capseta shows how each estimate was made, and lets you change it.
Diet apps often start from recipes chosen for you. Capseta starts from the ones you already cook.
For calories, sugars, fat, and sodium in the US; for many nutrients in the EU.
Nutrition sits beside everything else Capseta does with your recipes: saving them from anywhere, planning the week, building the shopping list, and cooking from the screen.
