README
Kit for International Network of Food Data Systems ([INFOODS]).
This package provides utilities for accessing standardized food composition data, including abbreviation resolution (e.g., expanding `GLVs` to `Green Leafy Vegetables`) and nutrient tagname lookups (e.g., mapping `vitamin C` to its INFOODS code `VITC`), with functions to load datasets, generate SQL/CSV schemas, and query terms through flexible pattern matching.
