# USDA Nutrient Database
The USDA nutrition database is a great source of nutrition information. However,
the data formatting options (plain text ASCII files or MS-Access) leave a little
to be desired.
This is a simple gem to import the database into your ruby application.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'usda-nutrient-database'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install usda-nutrient-database
If you're using rails then copy the migrations across:
```
rake usda_nutrient_database_engine:install:migrations
```
## Usage
Import the latest data with the import task:
```
rake usda:import
```
This is going to take a while. 60+ minutes on my 2.66 GHz i7 macbook pro
Use the models to query and profit:
```
UsdaNutrientDatabase::FoodGroup
UsdaNutrientDatabase::Food
UsedNutrientDatabase::Nutrient
UsdaNutrientDatabase::FoodsNutrient
```
