Data analytics on recipes can be helpful for many reasons.

One is so that we can see trends on what are popular or ‘hot’ food items. Another reason could be for nutrition analytics. Here, we want to help the avid cook optimize their ingredient stockpile for this year’s current recipes.

The Top Five Most Popular Ingredients

  1. Olive oil
  2. All purpose flour
  3. Butter
  4. Chicken
  5. Sugar

Having a handle on the most popular recipe ingredients can be quite useful in stocking your fridge or pantry. For example, this year, extra virgin olive oil topped the list at just under 5% of all recipes. Compared to canola oil, olive oil has less calories, less fat and an extra helping of iron. As an ingredient with a fairly long shelf live, it would be great to stock up on when there’s a sale in the super market.

Similarly, all purpose flour, who is right on top of its good friend, butter is number two on the list. At just below 5% of all recipes, flour is also non-perishable. Buying it in bulk can help you save time and money next time you have a baking craving or want to thicken up a winter soup.

Chicken, which includes recipes that call for breast, legs or patties, is at number four. Top of the list of animal proteins, it’s also one of the most affordable. Compared to beef, chicken has less calories, less fat and a more balanced profile of essential amino acids.

Unsurprisingly, salt and sugar land the next two spots at five and six. They are staples in seasoning and many dishes as a call for flavor. Sugar comes in a few forms, white, brown, turbinado, etc. Comparing white versus brown sugar, brown sugar is a bit better for you as it contains small amounts of calcium and magnesium.
