Add new Nutrition endpoint

Add a new endpoint for nutrition. We can start with fruit which I have added below.
Endpoints:
/food/nutrition/fruits/
/food/nutrition/fruits/:qty
Hi @ageddesi! I'm gauravitude from the discord server, could you please assign this issue to me?
All yours @GauravRanganath
Hi @ageddesi, I'm The Dark Remo from the discord server. We found a good dataset covering more categories than just fruits. So, we thought of making a dynamic endpoint to deal with all the categories, ie:
/food/nutrition
/food/nutrition/:qty
/food/nutrition/:category
/food/nutrition/:category/:qty
And the categories we would like to cover are:
- Dairy
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Grains
- Protein
- Beverages
Alternate solution to dynamic endpoint, would be to create 2 endpoints for each category, ie:
/food/nutrition/
/food/nutrition/:qty
/food/nutrition/fruits
/food/nutrition/fruits/:qty
/food/nutrition/dairy
/food/nutrition/dairy/:qty

Let me know your thoughts.
Hey thats awesome.
Can you let me know the license for that data source please.
If you look at the animals endpoint you xan see i like to be specific with the urls so I prefer the second option.
Awesome work.
Hey @ageddesi, the data we are using is from Government of Canada's Canadian Nutrient File (CNF). Following is a link to the website: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/healthy-eating/nutrient-data/canadian-nutrient-file-2015-download-files.html.
