How It Works
Discover food that works for you
Eating well shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you’re looking to improve your everyday diet, explore foods for a particular health concern or simply discover something new, Aapurna makes it easier to find foods that match what you’re looking for.
Just search, explore and create your own shopping list.
1. Search — Tell us what you’re looking for
Start by entering a food, health condition or wellbeing goal into the search bar.
You might be interested in gut health, recovery, getting more energy or finding foods containing a particular nutrient.
Aapurna searches our food and nutrition database to find relevant foods for you to explore.
2. Discover — Find foods worth exploring
Browse your results, organised into familiar categories such as fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy.
Each food comes with a photograph, a short explanation and a simple traffic-light indicator:
- 🟢 Green — A good match for your search.
- 🟠 Amber — Worth considering, with something to be aware of.
- 🔴 Red — A food with a relevant caution or potential conflict.
Our traffic lights depend on what you’ve searched for. The same food might receive a different colour for a different search.
You can also explore individual foods to learn more about their nutrients and nutritional information.
3. Shop — Make your own shopping list
Found something you like? Add it to your shopping list with a single tap.
Choose the foods you actually want, and Aapurna automatically organises them into supermarket sections.
When you’re ready, save your list to your phone or download a copy to take shopping.
Tick off items as you go, even when your internet connection isn’t available.
No complicated meal plans. No accounts required. Just your own shopping list.
A little food knowledge goes a long way
Aapurna brings together food and nutritional information to help you discover new possibilities and make more informed everyday choices.
From familiar favourites to ingredients you’ve never tried before, there’s always something new to explore.
Search. Discover. Shop.
Please remember: Aapurna is a food discovery and nutritional information service, not a substitute for professional medical advice. Our traffic lights highlight nutritional matches and known cautions, but they cannot account for every individual’s circumstances.
