USDA Site https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/

Though USDA site provides us the nutrition value of all foods that ever exist. And it is the biggest food datacenter in the world! But the problem to me is the api call is somewhat messy and the searching system is not user friendly.

So, I just grab the api and sorts the value into my formar. Hope this will help a lot!
