Filipino food nutrition information, made easier to access and understand.
Juan Nutrisyon is an independent Filipino food-literacy and nutrition-information initiative developing digital tools for everyday foods, local ingredients, recipes, and professional nutrition workflows.
Many Filipino meals do not come with nutrition labels. The project aims to make food-composition data more understandable while being clear about sources, assumptions, and limitations.
