Durban University of Technology - Diabetic Friendly Recipes

image/png

Description

This dataset features a collection of recipes that prioritise the use of low and medium glycemic index (GI) ingredients to create flavourful and nutritious dishes aimed at reducing the risk of type-2 diabetes. In a collaborative effort between the Food and Nutrition academics and students at the Durban University of Technology, along with a Senior Developer, a database of thoroughly tested, high-quality diabetic-friendly recipes was used to train a model capable of generating reliable, diabetic-friendly recipes. During model training, unfamiliar recipes were tested by the Department of Food and Nutrition.

Recipe Components

  • Ingredients in household measurements
  • Method: step-by-step preparation method

Limitations

Cultural sensitivity: Whilst the dataset of recipes includes a variety of global recipes, it may not account for some cultural food practices, ingredients, or preferences.

Missing ingredients: Not all available ingredients in the global food system have been accounted for in the dataset.

Serving size: The dataset only provides a rough estimate of the number of servings per recipe.
