Grouping Recipes And Foods

Last updated: 9th April 2026

You can categorise your recipes and foods into groups for easy data organisation and sharing to other users. 

  1. Open the item and scroll or jump to the Grouping tab. 
  2. Click on ‘+Group‘ to tag a group to your item: 

  1. Click on a group name to add an item to that group. 
  2. Items can be added to multiple groups at a time:

  1. If there are a lot of groups on your account you can use the search function to search through these. 
  2. Click ‘+New Group’ to create a new group for tagging: 

Only tagged groups will show on the recipe/food workspace. Simply click ‘x’ to remove the group from the recipe/food and refresh the page. 

Recipe groups can be viewed by clicking on ‘My Recipes‘ and then hovering over the arrow beside this tab:

Alternatively, you can click on ‘My Recipe Groups‘ in the Nutritics explorer and use the search bar to filter groups:

Parenting Groups

Foods and recipes can be organised using Parent Groups under the grouping option. Parent groups sit above your existing groups, helping you structure and manage them more effectively. 

Parent groups can be assigned from the food or recipe workspace , or from the tree viewer. You can also assign colours to parent groups for easier and quicker identification:

Groups can also be moved from within the grouping tab by dragging and dropping groups to move them in and out of parent groups.

Favourites

Items can be grouped into a Favourites folder to help you quickly identify and filter the foods and recipes used most often. This system allows you to mark any food or recipe for quick access later.

You can favourite system foods, supplied published foods, shared foods and recipes and your own foods and recipes. Once added, favourites are available across your workspace and are easily searchable at any time.

You can favourite foods or recipes by clicking the star in the extended information panel:

Once items are saved to your favourites, you can click the star icon to filter and view only your saved favourites:
