Learn about and try new recipes or find healthier versions of some of your favorites in the recipe databases from the USDA’s National Agriculture Library.
The recipe finder database lets you explore new and traditional recipes. You can give feedback, rate the recipes on a 1-5 scale, and submit your own recipes to be included in the database.
If you’re looking for vegetarian options, the fruits and veggies database has over 1000 recipes.
The USDA offers other databases based around certain food groups such as dry bean recipes or specific spices. You can also find guides to fit good nutrition into a busy life and tips for modifying your favorite dishes to make them more healthy.
