Muriro Food Search API (beta) -v-0.8

This API is for nutritionists, dieteticians and developers alike, designed to provide quick and easy access to a comprehensive database of East African dishes adapted from sources like; A Food Composition Table for Central and Eastern Uganda (Hotz & Lubowa et al.). With this API, users can search for different foods and receive detailed information on nutritional content.
