2.1.1.1 Search by Text

In this example, I searched by the word “apple” The database produces dozens of options for this word, such as “Babyfood, fruit, applesauce, strained”, or “Pie, apple, prepared from recipe” This are displayed in a tree format, with the first word forming the header, the second the sub-header, etc. You must explore the tree to find the one you what, cicking on the little pluses, explodes the sub-hierarchy of foods. In this example I selected the food Apples > raw > with skin, so the Selected Food box would read: “Apples, raw, with skin”.
