About Our Database
Our ingredient price database is one of the most comprehensive freely available resources for grocery pricing. With 3,001+ ingredients across 13 categories, it covers everything from everyday staples to specialty items. Currently, 2,716 ingredients (90.5%) have current retail pricing.
Prices are sourced from real grocery data across 15+ online markets and updated weekly. Each ingredient also includes USDA-sourced nutrition data (calories, protein, carbs, fat per 100g), making this a complete reference for both budgeting and meal planning.
Understanding Price Units
Each ingredient is priced per its standard retail unit. Meats and seafood are typically priced per pound. Produce varies: items like onions and avocados are per each, while greens and berries are per pound or per ounce. Spices and herbs use per ounce. Dairy products use per quart, per pound, or per each depending on the item.
When using these prices for recipe cost estimation, our Recipe Cost Calculator handles unit conversions automatically — converting your recipe amounts to the same unit as the stored price.
