In 2016, Vikaas Sharma (CC) and UVa graduate Ashton Erler (CLAS), sharing a passion for nutritional education and technology, created Recipe Aisle, a global nutrition facts discovery and data platform dedicated to uncovering the health benefits of traditional cuisines worldwide.
Recipe Aisle uses advanced algorithms to find, organize, and enhance recipes from the web, adding detailed micro and macro-nutrient information. The platform empowers individuals to manage health conditions like diabetes and improve their overall nutrition.
Recipe Aisle’s data caters to:
- Health care professionals

- IoT devices and connected kitchens
Additionally, Recipe Aisle collaborates with journalists and publishers on a series of articles exploring the impact of food globalization on health and well-being.
