Avocavo was born out of frustration.

While building a health-focused app, I spent weeks trying to integrate reliable nutrition data — and every option fell short:

  • Unusable raw data – USDA dumps were massive, inconsistent, and required endless custom parsing.
  • Painfully slow APIs – 2–3 seconds per ingredient made real-time features impossible.
  • Questionable accuracy – Third-party sources without clear USDA linkage.
  • Prohibitive pricing – Either free-but-broken, or locked behind $500/month enterprise plans.

After wasting too much time on integrations that couldn't scale, I built the tool I needed from scratch.

Avocavo Nutrition API is built for developers: lightning-fast responses, clean JSON, USDA-sourced data with full verification links, and fair pricing that works for both side projects and production apps.

We're developer-first and always open to feedback — if there's a feature that would make your life easier, we want to hear it.

Try it free — no complicated setup, just fast, accurate nutrition data that works.
