Google Nutrition Search

About a week ago Google announced they were going to feature nutritional information on foods as part of your search results, so that you can instantly access this nutritional information any time.  You can pretty much find the nutritional value from almost any food - from apples to ramen noodles.  The nutrition stats are brought to you by the USDA.  Also, Wikipedia contributes a piece about the searched product.

This video I put together demonstrates how to use the new Google nutritional search.  You will notice that the nutrition results allow for other options - i.e. size, type and preparation of the searched products; and results populate when you make adjustments to these.
