The Indian Food Composition tables ([IFCT 2017]) provides nutritional values for 528 key foods.
📦 [Node.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ifct2017),
📜 [Files](https://unpkg.com/ifct2017/).
Food composition values were measured by [National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad]. Shown
below is a text-query JavaScript API for search information through these tables. You may
also add these to a database for more control over the query.
> Online database: [ifct2017.github.io].
```javascript
const ifct2017 = require('ifct2017');
async function main() {
await ifct2017.compositions.load();
/// Load corpus first
