If you can't find any ingredients in the system that suit your needs, no worries—you can create any ingredients you need to use.

Ingredient Library

Navigate to the Library tab in the left-side menu and select the “Ingredients” section. The Ingredient Library displays all available ingredients from the system by default.

Each ingredient includes its name, image, category, and default unit.

Create an ingredient

You have the option to create a single ingredient or multiple ingredients simultaneously.

For a single ingredient creation, simply click the "Add new ingredient" button located at the top right corner of the page.

Alternatively, select "Add Single Ingredient" from the drop-down menu:

A dialog box will appear prompting you to enter the ingredient details:

  • Ingredient Name

  • Category

  • Default Unit

To create multiple ingredients, utilize one of the following methods:

From the drop-down menu of “Add New Ingredient” button, choose “Add Multiple Ingredients”

Alternatively, on “Add single Ingredient” pop up, select “Add multiple ingredients”. Then just click the “+” button to add more ingredients.

Edit/delete an ingredient

Editing an ingredient:
Click on the desired ingredient to edit it or select "Edit" from the menu actions.

  • Deleting an ingredient

You can delete a single ingredient or multiple ingredients using the following methods:

  • Select “Remove” option on the menu action of an ingredient

  • Choose multiple ingredient lines and click the "Remove" button.

Please be noted that you cannot edit or delete ingredients that were created by others.

Create new ingredients in the recipe

On the pop up to add ingredients into a recipe, select “New ingredient” button:

  • The corresponding pop-up is then displayed for adding a single ingredient. Here, you can add either a single ingredient or multiple ingredients, just like on the Library page.

After creating new ingredients, they will be shown on the “Add Ingredients” pop up for your use.

Updates on “Add Ingredient” pop up

  • In the "Add Ingredient" pop-up, we've enhanced several aspects to facilitate easier tracking:

    • The Ingredient list is now divided into two tabs: "All" and "Custom." The "All" tab encompasses all ingredients, comprising both system-defined and customized ones. Meanwhile, the "Custom" tab exclusively displays ingredients customized by Coaches.

  • Furthermore, you can utilize the filter function to display ingredients specific to the category you wish to select.

Updated feature after adding ingredients from library

Following the addition of ingredients from the library, you can select to change the unit for each ingredient.

Upon saving or publishing the recipe, the default unit will display as per your recent adjustments. You can switch to "Metric" or "Imperial" views. However, please note that altering the unit view will apply to all other recipes in your library as well.
