Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

1.  What if I can’t find the food I’m looking for? 
The foods listed under the Search and Browse tabs are featured foods. We have taken photos and researched the common names used for these particular foods. For some, scientific names are also available. This list of featured foods will grow as the website continues to be developed. If the food you are searching for isn’t a featured food, try looking for it under the Learn tab. There, you can register for the My Diet feature, which uses a larger database from which all of our nutrient analysis information is derived. If you can’t find the specific food item you are looking for in the My Diet database, select the food that is most similar. For foods with several ingredients (e.g. sandwiches), you may need to list the ingredients separately. 

2.  Will there be more recipes?
This website will continue to grow in the future. We will be adding more recipes with pictures and nutrient analysis on an ongoing basis.  

3.  Where does the nutrient analysis information come from? 
The Cancer Research Center of Hawaii maintains a large database of foods most frequently consumed in Hawaii, as well as foods from throughout the Pacific region. This database evolves as more foods are identified for nutrient analysis. The database may include nutrient analysis conducted through the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources.         

4.  Who is the site sponsor or source?
