Frequently asked questions
Where does this data come from?expand_more
From ingredient searches on the From Your Fridge recipe generator, and items checked in the food shelf life checker. Searches are counted in aggregate; no personal details are shown.
How is the trend calculated?expand_more
Each ingredient's searches in the most recent part of the period (the last 3 days of the week, or the last 15 days of the month) are compared with the earlier part. A change of more than 5% either way counts as rising or falling; anything smaller is stable.
Why do eggs, garlic, and onions always rank high?expand_more
They're in almost every kitchen and work in many dishes, so they show up in a large share of searches. Look further down the table for the more interesting movers.
How often is it updated?expand_more
The numbers are refreshed from recent searches every few minutes, so they reflect what people are cooking right now.
