Google has seemingly realized that folks look up a lot of dietary advises online. So why not offer it to them on the world’s most visited website? Beginning today, results will include elaborate details on calories, carbohydrates, proteins, sugars, and other information pertaining to the nutrition in food. In a statement, Google said, “Figuring out how to make smart choices about some of our favorite foods can often be a cumbersome and daunting process, so we’re hoping we can make those choices a little bit easier.” You can look up everything from fruits to vegetable, meats to gram. Natural language searches such as “what is the calorie count in an eclair” may effectively throw up an insightful result. A Knowledge Graph helps Google in making results more accurate, pertaining to particular users.


The site stated, “When you ask for ‘summer squash carbs’, we include ‘zucchini’ as a relevant food in the dropdown, because it is a type of summer squash.” Google will be adding more foods and expand the language support.
