In an effort to help consumers make sustainable and nutritious food choices, a new app called 'Forkful' recently launched that not only shows users the health benefits of various foods but also their environmental impact.
Moreover, the app will show users health-focused recipes that pertain to the food choice they are searching for. The Forkful app also hopes to reduce food waste by inspiring users to cook more frequently and more creatively and ensure food is not needlessly thrown away.
The app announced its plan to launch more features including filters, recipe recommendations, shopping lists, and more and is currently in its beta testing phase with plans to launch for on other platforms in the coming years.
