User-added Ingredients and Recipes can all be associated to a group for simplifying searches and organizing files. Ingredients in the ESHA database are already associated with one or more groups.

An important note on the Food Characteristics Group: Food Characteristics can assist with menu planning by allowing another means to sort database foods. The foods included or not included in a characteristic are general suggestions and should not be used for specific allergy or food sensitivity recommendations.
