Bite is an app that helps users discover recipes based on the ingredients they have available. By inputting the ingredients they have on hand or scanning their food using the Spoonacular image classification API, users can quickly find recipe options that suit their needs. The app also allows users to save their dietary preferences, create and manage their own recipes, and discover trending recipes.
